Title: So I watched BUTTERFLY ON A WHEEL aka SHATTERED and it makes me hate women
Post by: The Fake Shemp on February 24, 2008, 06:31:44 PM
My neighbor gave me the DVD and told me to watch it.  I was prepared for ultra generic kidnapping plot (he's a high powered business man looking to make partner!), so that was normal.  But the twist fucking enraged me - it must've been written by a woman.  I can imagine a group of women watching this as the headline movie for some kind of Lifetime or Oxygen channel tupperware party, and cheering at the end.  Fuck that.  Totally downer considering the main character is King Leonidas.  I was hoping he'd be like, "THIS. IS. CHICAGO!!!" and kick Pierce Brosnan in the balls.

Just look it up on Wikipedia. The Plot Summary is just one massive spoiler.  :lol

Also it appears to have been written by a dude.

The Wiki entry is great play-by-play.  You learn the big twist at the very end and Leonidas just sits there and takes it like a bitch.

Just read the Wiki entry.  Sounds like a Lifetime movie as written by M. Night Shyamalan.
