Fractured

I really enjoyed this film. Clearly things aren't quite right, but it's hard to say throughout what is true and what isn't. It kept me guessing and kept my interest. It's not horror but a thriller, no jump scares or horrific stuff. The acting is solid. The atmosphere is quite tense. The child isn't annoying for once. In some ways it's quite a poignant reflection on the power of love. Very good evening's entertainment.

Fractured is a mystery thriller, I'd agree with that, but the one tag that's missing, is surreal. It's a very odd film, so odd it's almost bonkers, it's like being in a nightmare, you can't wake up, all events are out of your control, and every aspect of life is spiraling out of control. I won't give a single spoiler away, because it would give the game away, all I could say is expect the unexpected. I predicted events and outcomes, I got every single sequence of events wrong, loaded with twists and crammed full of intrigue. Sam Worthington is terrific.

It's trippy, it's slow to start, but great as it gets going, think The Lady vanishes. 7/10

Firstly, ignore the bad reviews.

This movie is a solid thriller. Great acting and interesting idea. It will keep you guessing until the end.

You could do a lot worse than watch this on Netflix.

Recommended.

.. Thanks to the reviewer who advised that we ignore the negative reviews, I nearly missed this great thriller. Great pacing, it leaves you wanting to see what comes next. Please just watch it.

Went into this film knowing not a lot, it is all muted greys and looks like a Brad Anderson film. The first 20 minutes are a nice set up of family discord and inferiority, then the thriller starts, and gradually gets more and more paranoid, like a less fluffy version of the long forgotten Hugh Grant/Gene Hackman movie 'Extreme Measures'. Sam Worthington does nice work as a broken human being, it's only just over 90mins which is perfect and feels just like a midweek trip to Blockbusters. A nice surprise on a rainy day.
