Fragmented

Fragments (2008)

Based on the novel “Winged Creatures” this film from director Rowan Woods stars Dakota Fanning, Forest Whitaker, Guy Pearce and Kate Beckinsale. A group of strangers struggle to cope with surviving a shooting in a restaurant.

The major problem with this film is that it has 5 main characters but only a 90 minute run time which really restricts the screen time the various stories get. While the film does manage to show case a variety of reactions to what happens it could really have done with more time to give the characters depth rather than giving them one characteristic each. Kate Beckinsale's performance is the best part of the execution of the film which otherwise is pretty average.
