What Parents Need to Know
About Fracture
Parents need to know that this legal thriller includes a lot of dialogue about legal and moral matters, which means it's not really for kids (and it probably won't interest most of them anyway). It begins with a brutal murder (the bloody-faced body is visible repeatedly); a character shoots himself (it's off-screen, but his bloody head and crumpled body are visible); and another is tackled by police (he struggles before being pressed to the floor). The film opens with very close, very dark shots of their a couple having sex; their affair inspires violent jealousy. Characters drink at parties and swear (language includes several uses of "f--k" and many other curses).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the movie depicts its wealthy villain. Does it rely on Anthony Hopkins' performances in other movies to flesh out his character? How does actors' previous work influence how audiences react to them? Families can also discuss the appeal of legal/courtroom thrillers. How realistically do they represent the U.S. justice system? Why do so many of them have tidy endings? Is that true of real life courtroom cases?

Good adult movie
A movie starring Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling, you can expect it to be good. And it was. The acting was fantastic, and so was the storyline. Common sense media did over-exaggerate the sexual content. There were 8 f-words (I counted) and some violence. All in all, a really great movie. Not for kids under 16, though.

A good movie for a Friday night with my wife.
Adultery, and one man's violent response to it. See how he carries out his plan for revenge against his cheating spouse, and how he masterfully executes each detail, while fully protecting himself from incrimination, from murder to court room scenario rehearsal. And you think people can get away with murder? Although there is no nudity or graphic sexuality, the innuendo is clear. It's a mature theme for mature minds, and it gives an alternate perspective to commitment, forgiveness and reconciliation within the struggling marriage: no commitment, no forgiveness, and ultimately, final retribution.

Good mind thriller- Common sense media over exaggerates content
This was a good movie that plays with the mind- dont come expecting a fast paced thriller though- content wise ive seen worse in the violent and sexual contents in pg-13 movies, and for language its only about 6 f-words. Good movie for ages 14 and up
