Fracture

In the final scenes of Fracture, Ryan Gosling shows us just what kind of actor he is. He holds his own with Anthony Hopkins, and almost steals the scene. This is a nice, tight courtroom drama - murder is the crime - that has the prosecution winning, then losing, then .... well, I won't ruin the end. This is a film with wonderful acting and interesting camera work. I was thrilled to see Xander Berkeley play one of the judges (hardly recognized him without the beard, but oh those eyes). Well worth seeing.

I agree....definately worth seeing. Just something about Anthony Hopkins where he can play such a creapy manipulative character with ease.

And I liked how Gosling matched him with a cool, strong character. Glad you liked it.
