Quand Ted Crawford s'aperçoit que sa jeune épouse le trompe, il met en oeuvre le crime... parfait. Arrivé sur les lieux, le détective Rob Nunally a pour mission de convaincre le meurtrier de se rendre. A sa grande surprise, Crawford passe immédiatement aux aveux, mais Nually l'écoute à peine : il reconnaît sa maîtresse, dont il ignorait la réelle identité, qui baigne dans une mare de sang. Bien qu'elle ait été abattue à bout portant, elle est encore vivante. Crawford sous les verrous, Willy Beachum, l'assistant du procureur, se félicite d'une affaire rondement menée. Mais rien n'est aussi simple qu'il n'y paraît... (Metropolitan FilmExport)

Les deux premiers tiers étaient ingénieux, mais je ne peux pas vous cacher que le scénariste était à court d’inspiration et s’est emmêlé les pinceaux à la fin.

I was bored the entire time watching this. Not even the actors could save it, though they really tried. It’s been a while since I ignored the bad reviews and gave a movie a shot, but this one had me wondering if I’d even finish it. Ryan Gosling, as much as I usually like him, felt like a rookie lawyer at times.

I shot my wife. Prove it. This is a slogan that promises an interesting storyline. Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling. These are names that indicate quality acting performances. Gregory Hoblit. This is a director from whom one can expect at least quality craft, if nothing else… Fracture undoubtedly has the potential to be a really good thriller. In essence, it did not fail in any of the above areas. Although the subject is not explored to its fullest extent, the plot is still interesting and suspenseful enough. Neither actor plays the role of his lifetime here but their performances are sufficient. The movie’s greatest asset are the joint scenes where the actors play “face to face". Hoblit shot it all technically well (albeit somewhat unimaginatively), but the camerawork and music skillfully enhance the impression. Overall, Fracture is probably not worth a second viewing, but it has enough enjoyable moments in the course of the movie to make it feel like it wasn’t a waste of time watching it. That’s not too bad for another of the endless series of court dramas, is it?

Amazing courtroom thriller. The central duo of Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling is absolutely spectacular and each of their encounters has a dark and disturbing edge, complemented by intelligent dialogue. Hopkins' planning will take your breath away. For me, I'm very satisfied, I love these films. 80%.

Gosling and Hopkins's scenes together are an absolute treat, you could almost cut that tension. The rest is wadding, with one completely useless character (Gosling's boss/girlfriend Nikki) whose only "role" is to stretch the time to at least 112 minutes, the plot itself and the verbal duels of the two main protagonists barely making it to half the runtime. The film has some strong moments that stem from the acting skills of the two leads, but as a whole it is forgettable and mediocre.
