Fracture plot
"I shot my wife... prove it."
The moment Ted Crawford discovers his young wife is cheating on him, he plans the perfect murder. Ted cold-bloodedly shoots her, openly confesses what he's done, and after his arrest, hotshot Willy Beachum is given the seemingly simple task of settling the conviction. But nothing is as simple as it seems to this young prosecutor: Crawford retracts his confession and only then it turns out that despite everything, there is no hard evidence against him at all. In order not to lose face and to secure his transfer to a prestigious law firm, Willy will have to get that evidence on the table. A crack can be found in every apparently flawless facade.

Saw this movie last night. First of all, what a fantastic actor Anthony Hopkins is. Unnecessary comment, I know 
. I am not very familiar with Ryan Gosling, but he also pleasantly surprised me. The whole cast was actually quite good, acting wise. I thought it was a nice movie with good acting and a nice atmosphere. Still, the film left me with a bit of an indefinable feeling. First, the woman who survived in the first instance while being shot at close range in the chest and head. And I thought the ending was a sign of weakness. But all in all, very enjoyable viewing.

I'm not a big fan of courtroom movies, but this one was decent. Particularly by Hopkins, whose character is reminiscent of his earlier character Hannibal Lecter. Not very original, but very intriguing. Intelligent criminals always have a certain appeal, especially when played by such a good actor. Gosling is completely outplayed by Hopkins and I almost cheer for the bad guy more than for the good guy. The course of the film does feel forced and not exactly realistic, so I end up with 2.5*.
