Fracture
The film stars Antony Hopkins who finds out that his wife has been having an affair. There are similarities to Lector and he plays a convincing intelligent psychopath. He gets charged with her murder (attempted murder) after finding out about her affair. The courtroom battle ensues with a young buck of a prosecutor (Ryan Gosling).
Hopkins plays rings around the lawyer and eventually wins the case. There are a couple of okay twists and turns within the film but I am hard pressed to give it more than my score below.
Another film from Love Film, another disappointment. Maybe that's a bit harsh, but I seem to have dried up my list of films so may postpone my membership for a little while.
Any suggestions for a good film to rent. Recent or past gems. If I rent it and think it deserves more than 7.5 / 10 i'll give you £1.

Mad Max 2
Training Day
Glengarry Glen Ross
Chinatown
I'll think of more.
-Mad Max 2 is great.
ReplyDelete-Training Day is okay (I own it)
-Miller's Crossing looks promising
-Zatoichi, not really my thing (or April's for that matter) but I will give it a go.
-Glengarry Glen Ross, I think i've seen it, but will rent it just in case as there are some great actors in there
-Chinatown, sounds good, again good actors.
I'll get back to you will my ratings over the next few weeks. A possible £4
