FRACTURE

Director Gregory Hoblit has never been able to recreate the magic he harnessed in his 1996 courtroom thriller PRIMAL FEAR. Many of the same ingredients from that classic are here in FRACTURE...hot shot lawyer, diabolical murder suspect, sexy girlfriend, yada, yada, yada. Unfortunately that's where the comparisons end...FRACTURE is a disappointment. Although Anthony Hokins is good in his role...its impossible to not continually be reminded of Hannibal Lechter...and thats extremely distracting to the viewer. There are plenty of other things to find annoying here...espicially Ryan Goslings love relationship - which seems to only serve the purpose of having the pretty girl character in the movie. This is a failry stereotypical courtroom drama that does little to impress. 2 of 5 hs
