Review of Shatter

Shatter (1974)
4/10
Doesn't make a dent, much less a Shatter
15 October 2005
Stuart Whitman (Tender Flesh, Eaten Alive, the "Superboy" TV show) is Shatter, an international hit-man who goes into hiding when he carries out the assignment of killing an African general that he thought was given to him by someone that it wasn't. Now everyone is gunning for him and he just wants the money owed to him. I usually dig Hammer films quite a bit, however this is one I just couldn't get into. It's just way to slow and badly acted to keep my interest. It felt like it would have been made into a TV show if it did better than it wound up doing. No big loss either way, in my opinion.

Eye Candy: Some random Chinese girl shows T&A

My Grade: D+

DVD Extras: Commentary by Ousted director Monte Hellman & Actor Stuart WhitmanThe World of Hammer episode: "Chiller"; 2 TV spots; and Theatrical Trailer
