I'm a big fan of Anthony Hopkins and have enjoyed Ryan Gosling in everything of his that I've seen, so I was definitely expecting Fracture to be a good movie. Fortunately, it lived up to my expectations. This movie about a man who kills his wife and messes with everyone's head at the same time is very interesting. I loved the way Ted manipulated everyone and everything around him in order to get what he wanted. Willy's reaction to being played was also very well done.
Fracture is an intellectual thriller, which seems pretty rare these days. I really enjoy movies that make you think and try to figure out what has happened to the characters in the movie. Fracture is a must see for anyone who likes thrillers that aren't spelled out for you in the first couple minutes. The movie completely held my attention and kept me interested. If you missed it in theatres, rent Fracture.

This true story of racial integration and a team dealing with an African-American coach for the first time is wonderful. I'm so glad that it was made into a movie. Remember the Titans is the best of both worlds - football and a touching story!
