Anthony Hopkins has spent his career playing spine-chilling, highly intelligent criminals and in Fracture it’s no different. Jennifer Crawford (Embeth Davidtz) is shot in the head with a single bullet, and her husband, Ted (Hopkins) is arrested for the attempted murder. Security cameras around the property show that no one else entered or exited the house, plus, he confesses to the crime. It looks like an open-and-shut case, so lawyer William “Willy” Beachum (Ryan Gosling) who is about to make the switch from criminal to corporate law, agrees to come on board as prosecutor. But everything starts to unravel: the policeman who arrested Ted was Jennifer’s lover, so the confession is defunct, and the murder weapon can’t be found anywhere. Rosamund Pike also stars.
