Fractured

Reviewers are harsh to rate it so low when only the last part is blah. True, if you only care about the destination and not the journey, and you've seen a lot of similar movies you might be disappointed. But it's a very well done thriller and worth watching nonetheless. Apparently a lot of people expected what happens, but a lot didn't so your mileage may vary. I did, and while I wish they found a way to blow my mind in the end, I'm not going "oh I'm so smart, you didn't stimulate my superior brain, your movie sucks" and I just enjoyed the ride. Kinda like re-watching a movie you like, you know what's coming but it's still good.

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

The best part is the way the director managed to make it captivating, thrilling n poignant.

Brad Anderson gave some solid thrillers n most of em had similar twists with a lil ambiguous endings. Session 9 and The Machinist will always be remembered by genre fans, Transsiberian will be for its awesome cinematography, Stonehearst Asylum will be for its twisted ending, The Call for its pace n Vanishing on 7th Street for its dullness. But this film might be compared with Flightplan, Forgotten, Shutter Island, Mememto n The Shining. The Shining for the alcohol theme especially. Been never a fan of Sam Washington but in this film he gave a nice performance. Overall a solid thriller with a good performance n good direction. I judge a movie with my cell phone. If I pause the film to fiddle with my phone then the film is not that interesting but while viewing this film, I did not check my fone at all.

Because then i would probably skip this movie.

Both my fiance and I really enjoyed this movie!

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.
