Review: Fracture
Ol’ fashioned thriller with bits of courtroom drama. This time it’s Ryan Gosling facing a formidable opponent in the latently menacing Anthony Hopkins. Ryan holds up quite well, already proven his acting qualities in last year’s indie drama Half Nelson.
Thriller-wise, it’s not really personal, yet engaging nonetheless. Story seems pretty smart, but when you really think about it, it’s doesn’t have a full body, rather focusing on one or two elements throughout the movie. While I figured out most plot points halfway through, it’s wrapped up nicely enough with the few story points, and sometimes funny dialogue.7½.
