Fractured

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

Because then i would probably skip this movie.

Both my fiance and I really enjoyed this movie!

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.

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.

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.
