Fracture

As soon as I saw the trailer I remembered Primal Fear, it kinda borrows from that heavily with a different plot line & story, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this movie, as always you expect great performance from Anthony Hopkins but Ryan Gosling was a really nice surprise and a breath of fresh air that multiplied the quality of this movie, I'd say it's one of those hidden gems that many will pass on which they shouldn't.

>Ted: *"My dick has evidence."* Judge: *"Excuse me?"* Ted: *"My dick... my private investigator. I call him Dick."* It borrows a lot from *Silence of the Lambs*; a convicted killer taken into custody and an investigator on the outside trying to solve a puzzle. Anthony Hopkins does his usual character, the highly intelligent psychotic mysterious tactician with a polite accent. He had a few solid comedic moments that I really enjoyed and he looked like he was having a blast in court. Ryan Gosling + Rosamund Pike = HOT duo. Pike really shined whenever she was on-screen, wanted more. Gosling was solid in the main role, I just wish we knew a little bit more about his character. I was invested in the first half the mystery had me intrigued but it lost some heat after that and became a bit of a drag. Too much focus on the murder weapon perhaps. But thankfully it picked back up in the last 30 minutes. I expected more from the twist but it does the job I guess, the same can be said for the movie as a whole; nothing too special but it does the job.
