Blu-ray Reviews of Fracture [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: Mind Game Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
There's nothing like a good mind game movie. And Fracture (2007), starring Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling, is a classically good crime thriller. I watched it for the second time tonight after seeing it a few years ago when it came out on DVD. Next to Hannibal Lector, I think this is one of Hopkins best roles because he plays such a smart and clever character who shoots his wife and then finds away to get out of being found guilty for it. The movie is a cat-and-mouse chase between Hopkins and Gosling's lawyer who is trying to convict him.
Director Gregory Hoblit crafted a solid movie...the best of his movies that I've seen, which include Frequency (2000) and Primal Fear (1996) as well. I think this movie has been under-appreciated. The production design and photography are excellent. And I love Hopkin's home in the movie, the architecture is definitely my taste. It's a blending of modern and asian minimalism with a love of classic crafted materials...much like the movie itself. The acting and chemistry between Hopkins and Gosling are excellent too. I really can't say much more than check this flick out.

Description of Fracture [Blu-ray]
FRACTURE - Blu-Ray MovieAnthony Hopkins plays a brilliant, pathologically serene killer outwitting the good guys at every turn and taking a shine to a twentysomething law enforcer who can?t conceal a rural accent and rugged origins. Could it be...? No, not The Silence of the Lambs, but an original mystery, Fracture, which plays a little like Lambs as an episode of Columbo, minus Columbo. Which means the film tells us from the get-go that Hopkins? character, a wealthy engineer, shoots his philandering wife (Embeth Davidtz) and leaves her in a vegetative state. From there, it should be a simple matter for young, assistant District Attorney Willy Beachum (Ryan Gosling) to nail Crawford, who provides a full confession and even eschews counsel. That?s good for Beachum, a slick winner with a vague background of deprivation, rapidly on his way out of public service after attracting the attention of a deep-pocket, private firm. What he doesn?t know, however, is that Crawford has masterminded more than vengeance against his wife, and that the state?s case against him is full of pre-arranged holes and a huge time-bomb that will send Beachum scrambling to keep the pieces together.
The story, conceived and co-scripted by Daniel Pyne (Doc Hollywood), goes down easily with a minimum of blood and violence, and should easily appeal to mystery buffs as well as old fans of Hopkins and new admirers of Oscar nominee Gosling (Half Nelson). The latter holds his own in multiple, two-character scenes with the masterful portrayer of Hannibal Lecter, pacing Beachum?s reactions to Crawford?s polite provocations so everything spills onto his youthful face: torn loyalties, confusion, gullibility. Director Gregory Hoblit (Hart?s War), still best-known for decades of distinguished television work (NYPD Blue), brings the necessary intimacy to make the stars? chemistry work effectively. His noirish atmosphere is a little over the top, sometimes pushing the audience to a level of expectation that the film isn?t really ready to deliver, but this, overall, is an enjoyable work. --Tom Keogh
