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. The film features an outstanding supporting cast that includes Academy Award-nominee David Strathairn ("Good Night, And Good Luck.") and Rosamund Pike ("Pride & Prejudice"), is directed by Gregory Hoblit ("Primal Fear"), and written by Dan Pyne ("The Sum of All Fears," "The Manchurian Candidate") and Glenn Gers. "Fracture" is scheduled for an April 27, 2007 release. — More here |

 A smooth, proficient but curiously bloodless entertainment
Justin Chang
Variety
An open-and-shut case becomes an elegantly framed battle of wits in Fracture, an absorbing legal thriller.
 Shallow entertainment
Kirk Honeycutt
Hollywood Reporter
A cat-and-mouse game between a murderer and his prosecuting attorney favors plot mechanics over its characters.
Shallow entertainment where you have no rooting interest in the outcome.
 We really don't believe he's a killer.
Richard Schickel
TIME Magazine
Up to a point, the movie has a certain intricacy and novelty. The trouble comes as it gropes for an ending.
Intense, intriguing, challenging and provocative - it's hard to stop thinking about.
Susan Granger

s the witty, emotionally manipulative killer, Anthony Hopkins strikes not a single false note in a precise, tightly controlled, fiendishly combustible character. On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, “Fracture” is an intense, intriguing 8. Challenging and provocative, it’s hard to stop thinking about.
