When Willy's boss talks with him about being taken off the case, Willy responds: "Even if I find new evidence?" To which his boss retorts: "From where, the evidence store?" Despite a seriously flawed script, "Fracture" is a highly absorbing movie, thanks largely to meticulous production values, and to shrewd performances from Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling.□️FILM: ‘Aline’ directed by Valérie Lemercier (126 min) Dialogue is generally effective, and includes some witty lines. And sound effects, so often ignored in many films, further add to the realism of the settings. I also liked the use of a wide-angle lens in the courtroom scenes. The film's color cinematography is very good, and includes some unusual camera angles. And it's the back and forth verbal sparring between these two that make "Fracture" so entertaining. Nevertheless, Gosling's performance is both lively and credible. I would not have cast Ryan Gosling, with his boyish looks, as an assistant DA. Anthony Hopkins is well cast as Crawford, and gives a predictably adroit performance. But, if you don't pay too much attention to these annoying little details, the plot does roll merrily along with some good drama and suspense. The entire concept borders on implausibility. And the overall plot progression depends on various contrivances that include, but are not limited to, police procedures. There are also some problems toward the film's end that involve hospital protocol. I question how Crawford can know all that he knows, with such certainty. That Crawford likes playing games with the system quickly becomes apparent, and is the force that propels the plot forward. He then dares the criminal justice system, in the person of assistant district attorney Willy Beachum (Ryan Gosling), to convict him. Very elaborate and detailed production design contributes a sense of authenticity to this story, set in Los Angeles, about a highly intelligent and wealthy older man named Ted Crawford (Anthony Hopkins) who kills his unfaithful wife. ![]()
