La fracture

So... It's a straight to Netflix movie. I was not expecting some Oscar nominated performances or plotlines. It's October and Halloween is around the corner and I just wanted to snuggle up and watch a decent thriller and I believe this movie accomplished what I was looking for. It was psychological, suspenseful and actually had very great acting by the main character played by Sam Worthington. The rest of the cast was quite forgetable but not terrible by any means.

I don't want to spoil the plot but I will just say that the movie was a lot of fun and it did keep me guessing until the very end so that is definitely an added bonus.

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.

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.

I was wrong and then I was wrong again. Good twists.

.. 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.
