Poe S Feb 2, 2019 Could very well be the best movie of all time. If you like Mystery/Suspense as your favorite movie genre, (like me), you will love this one and watch it often. See more

Ron R Dec 29, 2018 Anche se presenta numerosi aspetti davvero troppo inverosimili e convenienti, il film intrattiene con moderazione e offre un'esperienza tutto sommato convincente. Buono il confronto tra i due attori protagonisti che rappresentano l'aspetto più coinvolgente della pellicola. La trama ha alcune falle che alla fine risultano inspiegabili, colpi di scena convenienti per la facilità generale della riuscita del film e dialoghi fin troppo accademici. Nonostante questo non esagera e mantiene un tono giusto e convincente fino alla fine, intrattenendo con facilità senza offrire niente di particolarmente nuovo. See more

Theodore M Nov 15, 2018 A really good movie. The absolute end conclusion was predictable from the start, but how we get there is the beauty of this movie. Tons of twists and turns. Great acting led by Gossling and Hopkins. See more

Ron R Sep 17, 2018 never less than a "check".. Fracture Fracture is a plot driven courtroom drama among a lawyer at its prime prosecuting an already confessed guilty who now is defending his case with no whatsoever experience. It is surprisingly hilarious with much more mature humor installed in with suave note that it never seems forced and cheeky. The narration is fast paced with tightly packed screenplay that is gripping if not layered and thoroughly entertaining for its runtime. Amidst all these highly pitched dramatic sequences it fails to draw out the emotions especially concerning the relations and chemistry since the frustration and the irritation described and portrayed for the protagonist communicates clearly. The background score is exhilarating if not scored extraordinarily and along with decent cinematography and fine editing, the boat floats safely on technical aspects. Gosling is vulnerable but still resists it on each frame against the master Hopkins whose reputation is justified in here with a cunning script and slick chess moves that were never less than a "check". The script aces on enfolding newer territories and bold turns and choices that it makes which is not only to bedazzle the viewers but also justifies it considering each perspective. Hoblit's execution might be decent and palpable to its tone but what stands out in here, is the world created by him that feeds itself on nothing but nature and that is something which doesn't come often. The only thing that itches throughout the course is the procedure through which the makers either rush up or skips few beats. The gripping screenplay, the enthralling high stakes through which it conveys its subject and Gosling's stellar performances are the high points of the feature. Fracture not only breaks but shatters expectations that results into never wearing off euphoric energy for the viewers, actors and makers. See more

Abraham R Aug 4, 2018 I think this is a really good movie for people who love watching movies about law. I really enjoyed this movie and thought that this was one of Anthony Hopkins better movies. I had not known much about Ryan Gosling aside from the romance movie the Notebook. In this movie, he takes a different role and plays a lawyer. I think that he plays the romance movies much better, based on his looks. However, he did pretty well on this movie to my surprise. I recommend this movie and give it 4.5 stars. See more

Abraham L Jul 9, 2018 Fun thriller that is sold mostly by the two superb leads, but the implausible plot keeps it from becoming a classic. Watching Ryan Gosling and Anthony Hopkins face off against each other is superb, as they are easily two of the best actors of their respective generations. The cat and mouse between them is excellent, though Gosling does have the meatier part, Hopkins brings his trademark charisma to an otherwise utterly slimy character. Behind the camera, director Gregory Hoblit keeps things moving smoothly, for the most part, keeping the film under two hours, but plot holes appear upon close examination (how the gun disappears is a bit out there). Overall, while not a classic, definitely worth checking out on Netflix, where it's currently streaming. See more
