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.

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?

Geez, for half of your post i thought you were endorsing it.

Glad i kept reading as 'desperation' (well, that may be an exageration) is setting in for a decent flick that isn't a remake, sequel, or one that involves spirits or aliens on a seemingly too low budget.

Yea that first part was from the link I posted from IMDB.com.....The movie had potential, but I was definitely disappointed.

I just saw it last night.....didn't think it was that bad. I did think that Hopkins was trying to hard......and it seems as if they typecasted him in that role.

Later.
