Fracture starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gossling
Wealthy, brilliant, and meticulous Ted Crawford, a structural engineer in Los Angeles, shoots his wife and entraps her lover. He signs a confession; at the arraignment, he asserts his rights to represent himself and asks the court to move immediately to trial. The prosecutor is Willy Beachum, a hotshot who's soon to join a fancy civil-law firm, told by everyone it's an open and shut case. Crawford sees Beachum's weakness, the hairline fracture of his character: Willy's a winner. The engineer sets in motion a clockwork crime with all the objects moving in ways he predicts.
Fracture (2007) - Plot summary

Has anyone else seen this movie? I was so pissed off
after watching this sorry excuse for a movie. The whole movie boils down to one mystery that I figured out immediately. I didn't buy Gossling as a lawyer and Hopkins was too busy trying to recapture that evil genius bit he did as Hannibal Lecter.
In short, the movie was a poorly written, poorly acted insult to my intelligence.
Anyway, I just watched it last night on In Demand and I want my money back. Am I alone in this, just curious?
