Shattered

When you search for the soundtrack of this movie you can't find it anywhere! I wished it can be located in a easier way of locating it. There is a really beautiful song on this movie. I thought it was called your wanted. But I'm unable to find it!!

In no way was this a thriller. Hallmark makes better suspense movies than this. What a waste.

Somewhere I saw that the film was based on a book, but I can't find the book. Oh wait; " 'Shattered' ' is adapted from 'The Shattered Fabergé Egg,' an autobiographical self-published novel by native Memphian Tonya Truitt." (From the Memphis Commercial Appeal 10-14-2016.)

It definitely reads like a true-crime book, though more of a mystery than a thriller. I watched it in fits and starts, so I had plenty of time to digest it. At times the music is schmaltzy and ridiculous, but there are a couple of country rockers and the initial jump blues at a cocktail party is really good - fits in with the Clarksdale setting. That's the John Clifton Blues Band.

Ah well, "Shattered" is worth spending some time on.

This is my first film review but I felt the need to review this because this film is underrated. Although part way through you have an idea where the film is going it is still intriguing and you still want to see it until the end; especially since it has some great acting by the lead character and the rest of the cast. You really get to care for the characters.

Do watch this film, it is worth it. It's a gem of a movie and you won't regret it.

So, I hesitated on this one because it had the appearance of a made for tv BS movie, but I did like it and think it is slightly underrated for what it is. It is not necessarily any form of scary thriller, but it is a mystery of sorts and the main female character pulls it off. Anyone who has spent significant time in that part of the US will recognize the thickness of the mystery. The female lead is a better actress than expected. Worth the time spent watching it on this lazy day off I am treating myself to.
