Fracture (2007)***



Since there has been a lot of hype about Ryan Gosling, I decided to check out this film. Gosling was good, but I haven’t figured out yet if the young baby faced actor was miscast for the role. Anthony Hopkins was great, his acting always seems so effortless. Overall, I thought the storyline was good and the characters were interesting, but the film was a little slow and perhaps overly melodramatic. It is worth renting, or in my case, worth checking out at the local library. I am really looking forward to seeing Gosling’s performance in Half-Nelson, it’s just so far back on my queue.

We recently watched Lars and the Real Girl. I didn't think I would like it, but I did. Gosling's performance in that was pretty good---but the real star is the screenplay.
