And WOW was it amazing.  

When Ted Crawford (Hopkins) discovers that his beautiful younger wife, Jennifer, is having an affair, he plans her murder. Among the cops arriving at the crime scene is hostage negotiator Detective Rob Nunally, the only officer permitted entry to the house. Surprisingly, Crawford readily admits to shooting his wife, but Nunally is too stunned to pay close attention when he recognizes his lover, whose true identity he never knew, lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Although Jennifer was shot at point blank range, Nunally realizes she isn’t dead. Crawford is immediately arrested and arraigned after confessing–a seemingly slam-dunk case for hot shot assistant district attorney Willy Beachum (Gosling). But nothing is as simple as it seems, including this case. In a tense duel of intellect and strategy, Crawford and Willy both learn that a “fracture” can be found in every ostensibly perfect façade.

Fracture was a great movie.  Ryan Gosling is H-O-T HOT.  Anthony Hopkins is – well, there are no words.  Who compares to Anthony Hopkins?  I love it when he plays an evil character (fava beans, anyone?) I seem to buy it more than Mr. Niceguy. 

The chemistry between Ryan and Anthony is great.  The movie is so well written – and so well directed.  This is a great departure for me -the last two movies I saw I absolutely HATED.  (They were Halle Berry’s “Perfect Stranger” and Sandra Bullock’s “Premonition”)

I give it two thumbs up… a must see!
