Abby was a clever actress; I was totally blown away at the ending. As much as I love Ger, the character he played was a complete arse and deserved what he got. If I were married, I would never put up with my man cheating on me. He made a complete fool of her and this was her way of getting back at him. You're right LL. Its absolutely wrong to cheat or lie to your significant other. Cheating is morally wrong and disgusting. Doesn't it say in the Bible, Thou shall not covet thy neighbors wife? See even the Bible says its wrong. People need to go back to church and actually learn something. If you want to party and do the nasty with someone, who isn't your spouse, then don't fucking marry them! Why go through all that shit if you're gonna hurt them in the end? Can someone please explain that to me? lol There are some nasty ass people out there with diseases that can't be treated with medication. What if Neil had caught something and gave it to his wife?!

in retrospect after first seeing gjb in tombraider and became curious as to where have the 'australians been keepin' this guy' (at first, seriously thought he was from down under tee hee) i then fell into (literally- the entire movie wrack-oops) beowulf and grendell...this is where after peeking at the 'making of' fell 'inlove' with this actor.... Shattered is my all time fav to own. great hitchcock type film...of course, i squirm every time i see 300 and rock-rolla...but, shattered...this is good.

I just watched this movie this weekend (with the hubby no less) and really liked it. I loved how it kept me guessing to the very end. Pleasantly surprised. I may have to add it to my collection. I have a stash of Gerard Butler movies that I sort of hide like porn. If my husband knew how many I have, he'd probably be pissed. I bring them out when he's travelling and have a total 'Butler Binge".

oklahoma - you're funny. gerry-porn...sounds like another thread. oops? we'ver already got one? adult section. over the past few days (snicker) i've got time on my hands (watch-out) and i've been 'involved' here ...just love his eyes -( smooch!) my husband keeps scampering in bringing me coffee, hugs, songs....(LOL) just to see what i'm so 'enthralled with'....if only he knew...if only THEY ALL KNEW! yep - dig shattered and yes, i agree with irish...infidelity is rotten and pathetic when discovered....everyone involved gets 'shattered'....i just found merit in the style of film making and ironic twist in the story. ;D

I was also surprised all the way to the end; just when you think you've got it figured out, they threw another twist. Brilliant!

Brilliant! yep lepp, i agree (however posting this late) i really think 'shattered' is one of gerard best flicks. he just seems so on top of his game physically as well. he does real well in movies with suspense and psychological twists...his impact moments are poignant. i understand from another blogger/interview gerards writing script? Yeow!...now, this is going to be amazimg stuff! honestly...its like the phenomenon of stand-up comedians turn dramatic actors (tom hanks, jamie foxx, jim carry, eddie murphy, bill murray, dan ackroid...on and on it goes)...it's going to 'fare thee well'

I just saw this and I thought it was very good and Gerry did an awesome job. Don't want to give anything away so all I will say is I liked the ending.

I don't wanna spoil anything either.... I just dropped by to say that I saw it some months ago and liked it. Then...when Gerry is at the office, dressed in that suit... God, I could faint in front of someone like that..

God, I could faint in front of someone like that.. And that flirty look he gave that Gal in the office. When I did hair I would see men like Gerry's character on a regular basis and I must say I am repulsed by this type of man, smug and over-confident. Gerry was gorgeous but I wouldn't have liked the character he played as a person.

I thought his American accent was pretty good on this film unless he got stressed. Then you would hear a hint come out. I watched this....Oh gawd a long time ago on TNT. Weird too. It was on for the weekend and I thought it was a TV Movie. I was like YES! Then found out later nope just movie presentation. But yeah ending was good. Sad to say I have figured it out 20 mins to the end. But still I forced 2 guy friends to watch it and they hated the feeling. Their GF's loved it.

He hated that feeling of being out of control.

I watched this for the first time last summer and thought G was pretty good. Then I watched it again a couple of weeks ago to look for things I might have missed the first time. Overall, I think he's pretty good in this even though...well, if you've seen it you know. I watched the bonus material the other night while looking for clips for a video, and there is a kissing scene that was deleted from the movie that I found.

This was the first thing I saw him in. I remember thinking "Hot Damn- that guy is good looking!" Neil thought he was the Master of the Universe, very smooth with that phony sincerity. It was fascinating to see it all come apart. Gerry was terrific in this.

Girls will make passes at men who wear glasses.... especially if they're as hot as this man.
