The introduction of European films has always been much later than the international market, and the box office is obviously not as good as that of Hollywood blockbusters, but a few films are always introduced every year. I wonder if it is some kind of agreement with the European market. Of course, this film is called a European film purely because the producer is from the United Kingdom and Canada, but from the director to the actors, it is downright Hollywood-style. What puzzles me even more is that this film has N names. It was called "Desperate Hours" when it was released in Europe, "Butterfly on a Wheel" when it was released in the United States, but the title of the DVD I watched was called "Shattered". Changing the name again and again can only be interpreted as a disadvantage for the distribution of the film, and the masses can only be fooled by changing the name.
This kind of psychological suspense film, well shot, very addicting, badly shot, boring. The film has many loopholes in the plot, especially in the handling of the alarm problem. The worst should be the ending. The mother-in-law's reasoning did not end at the climax. It was a big failure. The value of this film is that, like "Double Food", it's good to take a man to see it, don't underestimate a woman, the price of betrayal is very high.
Learned a sentence of English. This film title is taken from the phrase "Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?", meaning taking massive effort in achieving something minor.
