Erotic thriller throwback would've made an 11-year-old Alec very happy.

“Shattered” is an awesome song by the Rolling Stones off of Some Girls. It’s also a 1991 Wolfgang Peterson movie wherein Tom Berenger’s character breathes underwater with an asthma inhaler. Now “Shattered” (available in select theaters and on VOD beginning Friday, Jan. 14) is a fun yet dumb throwback to the erotic thrillers that were so in vogue in the late 1980s to mid-1990s. It ain’t good per se, but it’s certainly more than welcome.
