Fracture

[Ivy]

Fracture - "If you look close enough, you'll find everyone has a weak spot."
Wealthy, brilliant, and meticulous Ted Crawford, a structural engineer in Los Angeles, shoots his wife and entraps her lover. He signs a confession; at the arraignment, he asserts his rights to represent himself and asks the court to move immediately to trial. The prosecutor is Willy Beachum, a hotshot who's soon to join a fancy civil-law firm, told by everyone it's an open and shut case. Crawford sees Beachum's weakness, the hairline fracture of his character: Willy's a winner. The engineer sets in motion a clockwork crime with all the objects moving in ways he predicts.

This movie is very long and drawn out. But if you're a fan of Hannibal Lector, and you love his cunning ability and his intelligence then you ought to give Fracture a look. Anthony Hopkins is great at playing a psychotic mad man who is highly intelligent and who you don't want to fuck with. He is so tricky and throws so many curve balls, you can't help but stay interested in this movie. And the ending just makes you laugh, because his greedyness caused his demise! Let this be a lesson to all!
