Cut one up, you have two more on your hands. "Fracture" - scripted by Glenn Gers and Daniel Pyne with a good deal more polish than spit - is one of those courtroom dramas where twists multiply like worms. Crawford has set the scene, and he's evidently sized our Willy as the patsy. It's embarrassing, and worse, it could cost him that job. Before he knows it, Beachum's airtight prosecution is unraveling right there in open court. The prosecution has the confession, and a gun. Then again, he's so fixated on an imminent move into the corporate sector he fails to notice his last, apparently open-and-shut case is booby-trapped. Opting to defend himself in court, he enters a plea of "not guilty."īeachum suspects the defendant must be crazy.
He disposes of the evidence, then casually hands the gun over to the cops and confesses to the crime.
But he's also a cuckold who would rather shoot his wife in the head than let her walk out on him. Crawford is a brilliant engineer, wealthy, drives a sports car - fast. The two men don't actually pull down their trousers and compare sizes, but the subtext is there.
A boy's name, surely, not a name for a high-powered attorney? " Hopkins teases out every ounce of absurdity he can find in the name. (CNN) - "Does it bother you that I call you 'Willy'?" Ted Crawford (Anthony Hopkins) inquires of prosecuting attorney Willy Beachum (Ryan Gosling).
