Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling star in the dramatic thriller Fracture. When a meticulous structural engineer (Hopkins) is found innocent of the attempted murder of his wife (Embeth Davidtz), the young district attorney (Gosling) who is prosecuting him becomes a crusader for justice. Fracture is packed with twists and turns that weave in and out of the courtroom as the pair try to outwit each other.
I liked this movie a lot. Ryan Gosling and Anthony Hopkins played amazingly well off of each other. The drama between the two of them along with the rooting for Ryan Gosling to convict Anthony Hopkins really kept you interested all the way through. The only two things that I would knock this movie for was that it was a little bit too long and that I had figured out the big swerve that they kept building up to during the movie 15 minutes in to the movie so it wasn't nearly as dramatic when they revealed it.
That being said - this is definitely a worthwhile courtroom drama. I recommend this movie for viewing. You don't have to rush out there and check it out immediately, but it is worth the rental fee.
