Russ Hog WTH? One of these movies made for business: To make an older movie star share screen time with a young talent in order to legitimize the younger star for audiences. Anthony Hopkins plays a man who kills his wife and sorta defends himself at trial against a young prosecutor who needs to be humbled before ehe can be great. Horrible. Not much courtroom scenes for a courtroom movie, and the reversals all through the film are a disgrace. Why did I watch this awful movie? SMH.

lesliewilliams-45723 Willy Beachum (Ryan Gosling) is an Assistant D.A. with a 97% courtroom success rate. He attributes his success to being a hot-shot attorney but it must actually be because he only takes sure-fire cases-nothing else explains his success when viewed against his generally moronic conduct. Beachum, having earned his chops on the public dime is now ditching them for the private sector where he can make some real bucks, however, with a couple of weeks to kill he accepts one last open-and-shut case: the attempted murder by Ted Crawford (Anthony Hopkins) of his cheating wife. Police captured Crawford at the scene of the crime, they got the murder weapon and a signed confession yet, perversely, Crawford decides he will defend himself against the charges in court and Beachum finds himself being out-manoeuvred Will justice be served? Will you care? There are no surprises here.

lewisaldo A one time watch . The build up has been good with some excellent acting. However the end is a disappointment.Sir Hopkins is at his best as always . Watch it if you love movies with court room drama

n-36148 On the whole Fracture feels very...okay - I didn't really enjoy it, but equally it has some interesting characters and dialogue to lift it above the realms of being thoroughly average. Worth a watch if you have plenty of time on your hands.
