Fracture Review

Well it was a long weekend. A good weekend besides the fact that I wasted my time with Fracture. Do I need to go into details? Any movie that has the plot like Fracture better have some diamond in the ruff turning point. This movie didn't. It was slow, boring, and not even educational. At the least, they could've thrown some law jargon at me. Instead, from the beginning to the end it was pretty much understood what had happen, what was happening, and what would happen. No tricks, no gimmicks, not even the classic car chase. The most dazzling image the movie has to offer are the rather mysterious ball mechanism you might find in a mouse trap game. Ryan Gosling, and Anthony Hopkins, who usually put on quite a show in any movie they star in, were merely playing average parts. Ryan Gosling, who plays Willy, added a little bit to much to the confidence of Willy with the walk and cocky attitude. As for the genius Anthony Hopkins who had it all figured out, well he didn't and he also was a bit annoying with the way he played his role. There is no need to even go any further in this review. If you like a little mystery, with a little suspense, and a lot time to waste; well watch this movie. 2 out of 5, what a shame for such a cast.
