I went with my favorite movie buddy to the cheap theater to see this last weekend. We were exhausted from our last day of school and Graduation, and painting my house. So I will admit that we both dozed off during the movie. This is in no way a reflection in the suspense that the film had to offer. In fact, when my partner (who slept a lot longer than me) woke up, I told him that he missed a great movie. It was nice to see Anthony Hopkins again, as I have not been able to watch him without shuddering since I saw him in Silence of the Lambs at the impressionable age of 14. Great movie, Fracture was. If you missed it at the theater, this is definitely a great rental.
Synopsis (I did not write this)
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.
