However, the arrival of Sky’s accomplice Sebastian (Frank Grillo) for the final third of the movie ends up proving to be a double-edged sword. Up until this point, Shattered is fairly enjoyable, one of those movies where you feel like you want to know how it’s all going to pan out so stick around until the end. And not even a bungling rescue attempt by Sky’s landlord Ronald (John Malkovich) can save him. You can see where all of this is heading and thankfully it doesn’t take long for Sky to reveal her true intentions to Chris and show him exactly what she’s capable of (it’s also pretty much all there in the trailer if you like your movies spoiled beforehand) and Chris suddenly finds himself in a whole world of trouble. They have more sex, which is obviously what was running through his mind when he decided to make such a stupid decision. Sky decides to adopt the role of a live-in nurse and, despite the fact that Chris is naturally cautious of people and made his millions from home security, hands over the security codes for the house and lets her move in. Chris confronts the thief and things turn ugly, resulting in a smashed up leg for Chris, a trip to the hospital and a plaster cast which now means he’s confined to a wheelchair. But when they return to the car, they disturb someone trying to break their way into it. He’s obviously intrigued by her so tracks her down to her place of work and they go out on a date. The next morning Chris wakes to find Sky gone. Back at his place they chat a while, drink wine and end up having wild sex. But when they pull up outside the motel Sky is staying at, she is reluctant to go back inside and deal with her “crazy” roommate, so Chris offers her the opportunity to come home with him for a while. they get talking and Chris offers to drive Sky home. While out doing a spot of late night grocery shopping, Chris meets Sky (Lilly Krug) who is pondering over the right wine to choose. Shattered opens with Chris Decker (Cameron Monaghan), a tech millionaire recently divorced from his wife and now living apart from her and their daughter in an impressive house with a state of the art security system. But, despite all of that, I actually found it to be quite fun! It’s got twists and turns you’ll see coming a mile off, some questionable acting and decision making by some of its characters, a dash of gratuitous nudity and John Malkovich starring as a pervert. Shattered is a home invasion thriller coming to digital download from 16th May.
