For rating metrics see the previous post.
"Fracture" stars Anthony Hopkins (a million movies) and Ryan Gosling (Notebook, Remember The Titans, Murder By Numbers) and some other people. Anthony Hopkins is a really smart dude whose younger wife is having an affair with a policeman hostage negotiator. Naturally, Hopkins kills his wife. Gosling is a hot shot prosecutor who is leaving the prosecutor's office for a better gig at a large law firm. Hopkins games the system, acts as his own lawyer and in spite of a confession and being the only one in the house at the time of the murder and being caught with a gun in his hand, he manages to beat the rap with Gosling as the prosecutor. Naturally, Gosling is fired from the prosecutor's office and looses his new job at the law firm along with the hot chick lawyer from the new firm that, for no apparent reason, has taken to him. The cat and mouse game between Hopkins and Gosling (with the roles changing a couple of times) is interesting and there is some pretty good acting in almost all the roles. We saw it at the theater and it was worth the price of admission.
We misjudged the starting time a little bit and to waste some time, we walked in to the theater showing "Blades Of Glory" with Will Ferrel and the guy from "Napoleon Dynamite". I would have been pissed if I had paid to see that stuff. Solely from about 20 minutes of that minutes, I would rate it as a Mothra 3.8. Don't pay full price to see this movie and only watch it if Netflix delivers it to you by mistake.
"Spiderman 3" also opened the night we saw Fracture and judging by the massive crowds and the large number of screens on which it was showing, this could be a blockbuster.
