A smart and snappy thriller that makes light work of its ethical dilemmas, Fracture is a little too neat and tidy to stick in the mind for long, but the Hopkins-Gosling pairing is choice, and neither comes up short.
Fracture is the kind of polished cat-and-mouse movie thriller that depends entirely on the cat and the mouse having read and agreed to the script in advance.
You've got to expect comparisons to Silence of the Lambs. The verdict: for me at least Fracture isn't even a fraction as good.
The main interest here is the juxtaposing of Gosling's Method acting with Hopkins's more classical style, a spectacle even more mesmerizing than the settings.
A provocative game that plays out with intelligence and wit.
Fracture breaks no new ground, but with [Gosling and Hopkins] around, you'll never be bored.
there was a lot of artistic license taken with the courtroom shenanigans. I can take a certain amount of this in films, but it is laid on a bit thick for my tastes here.
[Hopkins and Gosling's] courtroom power struggle holds this Fractured drama together.
Doesn't hold up to a lick of scrutiny, which is a shame, since it provides such juicy material for a pair of contrasting actors...
...an above-average courtroom thriller that keeps afloat mainly because of the interaction of its two lead characters and the caliber of its stars. (Blu-ray Edition)
Um thriller bem realizado que abusa do talento da dupla principal para tentar se diferenciar de tantos outros exemplares do gênero. E quase consegue.
Fracture is an entertaining movie that should be better than it is.
Cat-and-mouse thriller is pretty but predictable.
You come away feeling as if you have been watching a battle between two second-tier opponents.

While you might feel conflicted between whether you're seeing Hannibal Lecter all over again or you're in awe because it's hauntingly brilliant, Anthony Hopkins and the film's makers molded pieces of the previous character into a uniquely tailored altered
A light psychological thriller that works better on a technical level than a thematic or character-centric one.
At no moment does this stop feeling like an especially glossy and especially joyless episode of Law and Order.
It's straightforward and nongimmicky (you don't have to wonder whodunit because we're told in the first few minutes), involves a minimum of blood and gore, and holds our interest nicely.

Fracture is an interesting crime drama with both intensity and drama. The mystery and the dramatic build up to the end won't amaze, but the performances by Hopkins and Gosling will however be enough to carry the film.
