Fracture

So me and Sandy decided we had to make most of an evening that she had worked very late here at San Diego.. And what better relaxing thing to do but to catch a latest flick?! So, we like good diligent people went to yahoo! movies and read reviews of a multitude of movies before choosing 'Fracture' after all the good reviews and the fact that we were both suckers for courtroom dramas.

I'd seen the trailer before and I knew that that Anthony Hopkins was accused of shooting his wife in what seemed like an open-n-shut case. But what followed was a classically different no-nonsense movie. It was refreshingly different in that it didnt leave you guessing at any stage EVER and had no weird inexplicable twists and turns. It was subtle, slick and pretty much to-the-point. I was very impressed with Ryan Golsing as well. This was the first movie I was seeing him in and I had heard rave reviews of him and I must vouch for his performance in this one. He was all character.. the accent, the walk, the talk... Was pretty cool.

The plot in itself is simple... You know who shot who... You see it happen in the movie. The plot relies on the loopholes in the US judicial system. And its pretty cool.. And while it comes together, most of us would've guessed what really happens.. And they didnt dwell on that too much either. All in all, it was fast-paced, sleek and totally worth the watch... And Ryan's quite cute... :)
