[The] script is so uneven that the result is like watching four different, equally bad, movies.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
'Why?' you may wonder as the end credits roll on director Alan White's Broken.
Heather Graham's would-be singer-songwriter in Broken is a walking cliche in a film overstuffed with them.
Tiresome and turgid, Broken has nothing to say and says it slowly. Even the sex scenes are a bore.
Ideas aren't enough to overcome a badly organized structure and often stilted acting.
