Fracture Ratings & Reviews
- John Solis20 August 2025Fracture (2007) is a compelling legal thriller that really stands out for its sharp writing and the intense cat-and-mouse dynamic between its lead characters. Anthony Hopkins delivers a chillingly meticulous performance as Ted Crawford, a man who seems to be playing a perfect, unbreakable game against the law after attempting to murder his wife. Ryan Gosling, as the ambitious young prosecutor, brings energy and determination, creating a tense and engaging clash of wits. What makes the movie so satisfying for lawyer-movie fans is the way it blends psychological strategy with courtroom drama. The story isn’t just about law procedures; it’s about thinking several moves ahead, spotting loopholes, and moral dilemmas—Hopkins’ character is brilliant and manipulative, and Gosling has to match that intelligence step by step. The pacing keeps you guessing, and the twists are clever without feeling forced.

- inta941 May 2026Quite good, great acting, good story, engrosing stakes, a nice 'twist' ending (that I saw coming, but still good!) Very satisfying movie.

- turnerefc27 April 2026Excellent watch and clever
- seanmcconnell45116 April 2026Anthony Hopkins... Theodore Crawford (Villain)
- Rick Masters1 April 2026Anthony Hopkin’s is such a good bad guy! FRACTURE is exactly that… An entertaining film with some cracks. Gosling and Hopkins are great but more screen time together just chewing on the script would have been welcomed. The rest feels very generic 90’s/early 2000 thriller.
- matpe2317 February 2026Very well acted, good plot and tense up until the end. Recommended.
- mickerdoo7 July 2025Role definitely felt like it was written for Hopkins. Gosling was a nice young gun. Glad he was able to be tried again. Well planned murder.
