A woman is thrust into a world where everything is subtly unfamiliar in this edgy thriller from writer and director Sean Ellis. Gina McVay (Lena Headey) is a radiologist who is enjoying dinner one evening with her family and her boyfriend Stefan (Melvil Poupaud) when a mirror shatters for no apparent reason. After a few moments, no one thinks much of it, but the next day Gina is leaving work and she sees something even more troubling -- a woman who looks just like her, driving a car identical to her own. Curious, Gina sneaks into the doppelganger's apartment and sees a photo of herself and her father in the hallway. Seriously rattled, Gina runs out and drives away, only to get in an accident that lands her in the hospital. After she's released, Gina asks Stefan if she can stay with him, but while he looks the same, his personality and behavior are quite different from the way she remembers him, and she begins having vivid nightmares which become all the more terrifying when the same horrific images begin popping up in her waking hours. The Broken received its American premiere at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Good Film, a little slow but well done. Reminded me of Invasion of the body snatchers.

I forgot that I had seen this before, now I know why I had forgotten this movie.Seeing it this 2nd time did not help me understand it any better. It really does start pretty cool but unfortunately left me asking what the heck was that about? I've looked all over the internet to see if anyone figured this movie out and it seems that all of the things I read shows they are just as confused as I am. I'm a pretty creative thinker, but not even my creativity helped me make any sense of this one. Oh well.

Interesting movie. Very little action. The concept was more like invasion of body snatchers from mirror universe. Still you watch the movie hoping for something to happen. Best part was the shower scene. Both funny and spooky at the same time. I never thought you could kill anyone that way.
