Fracture

A structural engineer (Anthony Hopkins) and an ambitious young district attorney (Ryan Gosling) become locked in a deadly battle of wits when the former is found innocent in the attempted murder of his wife in director Gregory Hoblit's tense tale of courtroom mind games. Ted Crawford (Hopkins) is an engineer who lives with his wife Jennifer (Embeth Davidtz) in the couple's lavish Southern California home. One day, after carefully planning out the details to ensure that there is no way he can be convicted of murder, Ted shoots his wife in a blatant attempt to murder the woman. When head hostage negotiator Rob Nunnaly (Billy Burke) arrives on the scene to speak with Ted, he is shocked to find that the victim of the shooting is in fact his longtime lover. Though Jennifer survives the trauma of being shot in the head at close range, she hovers comatose between life and death as star prosecutor Willy Beachum (Gosling) reluctantly accepts the case while preparing to leave the Los Angeles criminal court system behind for a more promising career at a posh private law firm. Though the D.A. (David Strathairn) vehemently resents Beachum's lofty plan for departure, the hotshot young lawyer remains convinced that he can expedite the apparently open-and-shut case and be on his way to greener pastures in one week's time at the very most. Beachum's swelling ego betrays him, however, as his future boss Nikki Gardner (Rosamund Pike) begins to turn up the heat and fracture mechanics specialist Ted chooses to represent himself at the trial knowing well that a career spent spotting structural flaws in aeronautical systems has instilled him with just the kind of argumentative skills needed to riddle the swaggering young lawyer's "foolproof" case with doubt.

Il vient en effet d'obtenir un poste très lucratif dans une grosse firme d'avocats, ainsi que les faveurs de sa future patronne. Dès l'ouverture du procès, Willy perd la face lorsque Ted, qui se défend seul, révèle la cour que le policier qui l'a arrêté était l'amant de sa femme, un fait que le jeune plaideur avait négligé de vérifier.

  • "When Ted Crawford discovers that his beautiful young wife, Jennifer, is having an affair, he spies her at a hotel, then waits for her at home, where he cold-bloodedly shoots her face. Hostage negotiator Detective Rob is the only officer permitted entering the house. He is too stunned to pay close attention when he recognizes Jennifer, his secret-lover, is lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Surprisingly, Ted readily admits to shooting his wife. He is immediately arrested and arraigned after confessing. It seems a slam-dunk case for hotshot assistant district attorney Willy Beachum, who is on his way to a lucrative job in high-stakes corporate law. But nothing is as simple as it seems, including this case. In a tense duel of intellect and strategy, Ted and Willy both learn that a "fracture" can be found in every ostensibly perfect facade. And how is the final judgment of this case?"
  • "Courtroom drama starring Anthony Hopkins. Engineering tycoon Ted Crawford (Hopkins) is a meticulous man in all things but, when he shoots his wife for stepping out on him, he may have taken on more than he can control. He confesses to the crime, gains the right to represent himself in court and moves to trial as soon as possible. The prosecutor is Willy Beachum (Ryan Gosling) - a young, upwardly mobile lawyer soon to join a reputable firm and start his big earning years. Beachum believes the case is a cake walk but Crawford has a few details up his sleeve that'll put the young attorney firmly on the back foot. For example, the arresting officer was the man his wife had been having an affair with. The thrust and parry of Beachum and Crawford in the courtroom provide the meat of the film. The confident Crawford waxes grandiloquent like George Galloway in front of congress as Beachum slowly, steadily, takes it on the chin but homes in on the essence of Ted's game."
