A woman says that a man is not half the lover another man is. A man makes a sexual gesture with his tongue toward a woman. A woman flirts with a man and tells him, “I’m willing to have sex with my patient” when she offers to be his nurse after he is injured.

► A man uses a master key to enter an apartment and calls out to the resident, “Are you decent? I hope not” (please see the Violence/Gore category for more details). We hear sexual moaning and rhythmic movement from off-screen. ► Two women kiss passionately one woman wears a tank T-shirt that reveals cleavage and underwear that reveals her legs to the hips. A man and a woman have sex and she straddles his hips and thrusts on him as he moans and caresses her breasts (we see her bare breasts, leg to the hip and buttocks and his bare chest and abdomen and legs to the hips). This genre requires a little more abandon to really succeed and this one barely registers a crack, let alone a shatter.– A man touches a woman’s knee and invites her to stay with him, she removes his glasses and they kiss, he puts his thumb in her mouth, takes off his shirt and they have sex in bed: we see his bare back and chest, her bare breasts, partial pubic area, abdomen and legs and buttocks, as they thrust while seated and straddling each other. And Chris and Sky's relationship moves so fast, based on so little, that the plot developments make little impact. (One depicts a futuristic clock so that we can literally watch the time crawling by.) Plus, it's very difficult to believe that anyone who could amass a fortune would be stupid enough to fall for this scheme. Everything is chilly and vague, a little too clean and computerized, with screens hanging everywhere in Chris' mansion. Perhaps Shattered is a little too enamored of its million-dollar look and feel. ("Mother's maiden name!" she demands sweetly as she revs a power drill.) And how could Frank Grillo, as Sky's swaggering bulldog of a sidekick, and John Malkovich, as a slithery, galumphing, peeping-Tom landlord, not bring some much-needed fun to the movie? Somehow, though, they just don't. Her mouth seems to naturally form a smile when she speaks it's disarming when she's being pleasant and alarming when she flips to torture mode. Admittedly, Krug is rather terrific in her role as Shattered's evil seductress. This erotic thriller seems to have all of the pieces required by the subgenre, but despite a decent try at some heat, it glides across its cool, glossy surface, forgettable and passionless. To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly Family Movie Night emails. The actors - including Lilly Krug and Cameron Monaghan - seem game to be having fun, but the movie is a little too shallow and glossy to really connect. Characters drink wine, sometimes gulping it down, and there are casual drinks in a bar, as well as cigarette smoking. It's implied that the main character has more than one sexual partner.

Characters kiss passionately, and there are fairly graphic sex scenes with thrusting and moaning, as well as both male and female characters shown without shirts on and a brief glimpse of a woman's bare bottom. Language is also strong, with frequent use of "f-k," "s-t," and more. It's very violent, with slicing and stabbing, bloody wounds, blood spurts, a leg broken with a tire iron, a power drill being put through a leg cast, a severed thumb, guns/shooting, dead bodies, a gory corpse with slit forearms, fighting, etc.

Parents need to know that Shattered is an erotic thriller about a woman who seduces an internet millionaire and steals his fortune and identity.
