Review: Fracture (2007)
Posted: February 1st, 2010 | Author: Dave | Filed under: Reviews, Thriller | No Comments »
Fracture is a typical Anthony Hopkins movie, which is most certainly not a bad thing (though makes it feel somewhat unsurprising). Fracture starts by Hopkins plain shooting his wife in the head, for she’s cheating on him. The movie takes an ‘uhm..?’ spin when he simply confesses to the murder when the cops arrive, making you wonder where this movie can go after that. The interesting stuff begins here, though, with Hopkins carefully planning out every little piece of the plan, which apparently is to commit the perfect murder.
The movie manages to keep your attention and make you wonder what will happen next. The ending (while not being too spoiler-y) felt kind of ‘meh’, but that might be just my personal opinion. It’s a somewhat fresh approach to making a thriller movie, and entertaining enough to spend an evening on the couch for. Hopkins makes you giggle quite a few times in awkward but highly entertaining situations, and almost makes you forget he is in fact a cold-blooded wife killer.
Score: 7.0
