Fracture
Anthony Hopkins is Hanibalicious in this latest cat-and-mouse psychological thriller where “Silence of the Lambs” meets “Law and Order”. Hopkins is Ted Crawford, a structural engineer who enjoys detecting flaws in things and people. He is also an evil genius who plots to get away with killing his cheating wife. Ryan Gosling is Willy Beachum, a young rising prosecutor who accepts the Crawford case thinking it will be a slam dunk. Be prepared for some twists and turns as Beachum tries to figure a way to convict Crawford. Hopkins is so good at this familiar kind of role that it almost seems dialed in, but Alien still wishes the movie had more scenes involving Hopkins. This isn’t a who-done-it mystery because we know who did it from the beginning. It is about how to outsmart a brilliant man who seems to have outwitted everyone.
Alien gives it 3 “cracked egg” stars out of 4.
Thank you BW & SacTicket.
