Fracture (2007)
A husband is on trial for the attempted murder of his wife, in what is seemingly an open/shut case for the ambitious district attorney trying to put him away. However, there are surprises for both around every corner, and, as a suspenseful game of cat-and-mouse is played out, each must manipulate and outwit the other.

Love the movie, great movie, hoblit it's a great director, how about a new movie? perhaps, another thriller, he's so good at that!
It is surprising how even after all these years you can come across a murder mystery movie that you can't crack yourself. I did not see the end coming and that's what I liked about the movie. That and the fine acting of Anthony Hopkins (who shows shades of his Hannibal character here) and Ryan Gosling. The mystery is not too complicated and hinges on just a couple of simple points that you miss until they are revealed to you.
A one time watch . The build up has been good with some excellent acting. However the end is a disappointment.Sir Hopkins is at his best as always . Watch it if you love movies with court room drama
You don't have to be a criminal defense lawyer to conclude that this movie was totally ridiculous. Just look at one item--We're supposed to believe that the rich guy is some kind of special genius. But look what he did. He risked a 30 year prison sentence on his assumption that when the police came to his house after he killed his wife that the only hostage negotiator that might come to his door was the guy who had been screwing his wife. What if Joe Blow showed up instead? This is L.A., likely with up to ten other guys who might have handled negotiations. Did the rich guy skip considering that the cop he wanted might have been working another case? LOL. He would have been unable to switch the guns as this movie showed because Joe Blow might not own a Glock. Does a "genius" take "all in" risks like that? No.There is not much point in going over the many other nonsense things about this movie. I just thought I'd mention the above.
