Fracture Ratings & Reviews
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It's straightforward and nongimmicky (you don't have to wonder whodunit because we're told in the first few minutes), involves a minimum of blood and gore, and holds our interest nicely.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Not since Lecter has a role been this well suited to Hopkins, whose intelligence and pristine formality as an actor often make him seem alien.
CNN.com
Tom Charity
A smart and snappy thriller that makes light work of its ethical dilemmas, Fracture is a little too neat and tidy to stick in the mind for long, but the Hopkins-Gosling pairing is choice, and neither comes up short.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
Fracture is the kind of polished cat-and-mouse movie thriller that depends entirely on the cat and the mouse having read and agreed to the script in advance.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
You've got to expect comparisons to Silence of the Lambs. The verdict: for me at least Fracture isn't even a fraction as good.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The main interest here is the juxtaposing of Gosling's Method acting with Hopkins's more classical style, a spectacle even more mesmerizing than the settings.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A provocative game that plays out with intelligence and wit.
UGO
Brian Tallerico
There will be few better examples all year of how much a script can be elevated by the actors involved.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Fracture breaks no new ground, but with [Gosling and Hopkins] around, you'll never be bored.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Fracture is what audiences want when they go to a suspense thriller: a flashy, colorful villain; a protagonist who's imperfect enough to be interesting; and most of all a story that keeps viewers guessing, while playing fair.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Fracture, a stylish thriller so highly strung it zings, gives us Hopkins, an actor at the top of his game, in material that's only middling.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Although Hopkins could surely portray a charismatic killer in his sleep by now, he's clearly having a ball, while Gosling, gliding through every scene with deceptively casual confidence, seems determined to prove himself the best actor of his generation.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
The movie's logic fails at the end -- it betrays a criminal blind spot in its reasoning -- but you're best off not subjecting it to any prolonged analysis. Don't think. Just watch.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Director Gregory Hoblit can't seem to find any real heart in this story.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Although the direction and the clever script are far above average, what truly keeps Fracture riveting is the battle of wills and wits waged by its costars, old lion Anthony Hopkins and crouching tiger Ryan Gosling.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Fracture is no Silence of the Lambs. In fact, it's no Primal Fear. Anthony Hopkins may well be smarter than all of us put together, but his busy career sometimes has more breadth than wit.
Chicago Sun-Times
Miriam Di Nunzio
Smart, fast-paced and intriguing. Not a perfect film, but a perfectly entertaining one.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The movie seems so content to be smarter than you're expecting that it never amounts to more than a talky tease. What's breezy about the first half of the picture turns logy in the second.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
The glib entertainment Fracture offers an assortment of tasty treats, notably the spectacle of that crafty scene stealer Anthony Hopkins mixing it up with that equally cunning screen nibbler Ryan Gosling.
