  A mind controlling Thriller, with an enjoyable role played by Pierce Brosnan. A gripping Thriller with an interesting twist.

  Intense film about a couple who are taken into confinement by a sociopath who claims to have abducted their daughter. Neil and Abby(Gerard Butler,Maria Bello) must comply with a man(Pierce Brosnan) who doesn't want their money, but to destroy the seemingly perfect marriage for reasons that unfold as the story progresses. There's quite an interesting twist in this film, and the acting performances by Butler, Bello, and Brosnan are well done.

  Pierce Brosnan once again attempts to work his way out of the cloak of Bond by playing a mad man tearing apart the lives of perfect couple Gerard Butler and Maria Bello in Shattered. Their perfect life is "shattered" when Brosnan's character has their daughter kidnapped and begins a game of cat and mouse that could ruin their lives forever. The film is a nice little thriller that seems to have slid under the radar. The leads are great, though some of the situations are a bit over the top and the filmmakers do a great job of alluding to the motivation behind this whole caper without spelling it out for us in Spahetti-O's. Shattered is an above average thriller that delivers what you want to see.

  A pretty decent thriller, although not surprised it was straight to DVD. Saying that it does have a strong well known cast but just has a low budget feel to it. It's watchable especially if you like any of the actors but just not as intense or gripping as better thrillers. Called Butterfly on a wheel in the UK.

  a fairly effective little thriller that's backed by a blistering pace and a trio of expectedly strong performances.

  Be thankful with what you have and please don't cheat your spouse!

  Pierce Brosnan delivers such energy and fierce intensity to his electrifying performance. An enaging and compelling villian. Maria Bello and Gerard Butler are teriffic, giving explosive and emotionally charged performances. A taunt, gripping, brilliant and superb thriller. It's relentless, exciting, shocking, spellbinding and breathtaking. A nail-biting and crackeling edge of your seat suspense ride that will keep you guessing every step of the way. It knows how to keep your adreniline-pumping and your mind-racing with twist after twist.

  Due to the bad title and poster art for this movie in Mexico, I entered the theater expecting a cheap action film with bad acting and writing. Despite a flawed script, the movie is good, entertaining, it keeps you on the edge of your seat, but also makes you wonder some of the characters' choices, since they are stupid. Gerard Butler gives an amazing performance, Maria Bello is great too, Pierce Brosnan isn't (as always)... The twists are incredible; a little predictable though...

  Pretty good movie but lack of certain things and the end didn.'t really impress me much. Neil and Abby Warner have the perfect life and a perfect marriage. With their beautiful young daughter, Sophie, they are living the American dream... until today. When Sophie is suddenly kidnapped, they have no choice but to comply with the abductors demands. The kidnapper--Tom Ryan, a cold and calculating sociopath takes over their lives with the brutal efficiency of someone who has nothing to lose. In the blink of an eye Neil and Abby's safe and secure existence is turned upside down. Over the next 24 hours they are at the mercy of a man who wants only one thing: that they do his bidding. It soon becomes clear that Ryan's demands are all the more terrifying... because he doesn't want their money. What he wants is for Neil and Abbyís life, the life that they have built over 10 years, to be systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece. With time running out on their little girl, Neil and Abby realize their nightmare is about to take its most deadly turn: They will have to face Ryan's final, horrifying challenge would they kill an innocent man to save their own child?

  A very predictable film for the most part with a rather unpredictable ending. The tasks Tom made them do were so lame, so inane. With a little more effort they could've actually stirred some emotions in the viewer. Now only one of them kind of worked.

• Philip P

  
  The end makes this movie worth watching...it is intriguing throughout but does have a few slumps here and there...the performances are fine, Pierce is especially amusing to watch. worth a look, but nothing that I would talk about days later.

• nefnie l

  
  Another PSA about the dangers of adultery. If Fatal Attraction didn't do the job, this just might.

• Kyle S

  
  Don't remember how good this was.

  "Butterfly on a Wheel" is an exciting movie that doesn't disappoint. It is full of suspense and thrills and the acting is good. What more do you want!

  SPOILER! Meh, Gerard Butler is having an affair with Brosnans wife so Butlers wife joins forces with Brosnan to give Butler a really bad day. And that's only revealed at the end. Brosnan is a rubbish bad guy and about as threatening as lint. Butler is thick, and Bello is okay but in a film this shoddy that's still not saying much. Silly yawn-fest

  Man, this is as predictable as ice cream on a desert. lol...can't find a better analogy.It may not be as bad as I thought it is since I still watched it til the end just to see if I predicted it right (and I did!). I just can't seem to separate Gerard Butler from the way he played Leonidas. Even if this was a suspense-drama, I still get Leonidas from him when I listen to him say his lines. Pierce Brosnan was ok, but I've seen him in better films --- and better roles.

  Good performances, nice twist.

• Barry L

  
  If you can overlook Brosnans really rather poor Oirish accent this is quite a good movie. Well paced and enjoyable but dont expect amy real suprises. There aint any.

  An intriguing movie of sorts. Fascinating story plot that keeps you guessing at every turn, and has you wondering what could happen next. Although the ending has you enraptured, and feeling a great form of sympathy but yet fear. A bit of fear actually. Maria Bello is phenomenal!… More
  An intriguing movie of sorts. Fascinating story plot that keeps you guessing at every turn, and has you wondering what could happen next. Although the ending has you enraptured, and feeling a great form of sympathy but yet fear. A bit of fear actually. Maria Bello is phenomenal! Gerard Butler is definitely great in this, his character definitely one of a kind. Pierce Brosnan is simply brilliant! His character, on the other hand, is definitely a mastermind.
