It says based on true events but I think it may have been based of multiple true events all pieced together...mostly the personal lives of politicians.

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

Horrible plot. Unbelievable. Several scenes where main character left her daughter in a hotel unsupervised but we're supposed to believe she's a good mom willing to fight to the end for her kids. I don't know how they got Ray wise but it had to have been a favor Lmaoo.

I love TV movies. They're comforting in their predictability and formula. However, the difference between a good one and a bad one, is the actors. Molly Burnett here is down to earth enough to ground the film in reality.

Ray Wise is always fun to watch, but Molly is the star here. Impossible not to root for her.

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.

"Shattered," (2017). Directed by Natasha Kermani. Starring Ray Wise, Kate Burnett, and Tom Malloy. This film was obviously a labor of love! Produced as a humanitarian act and one which would be appreciated immeasurably by the one for whom it was intended. The direction was nuanced to perfection. Kate Burnett and Ray Wise nailed their characters, evoking emotion and body language to perfection. I do love a good puzzle and decoding a well done a contrario film. Thank you to the producer for bringing all the elements of this story to a superb film experience!

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!!

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.
