Fractured

One of the best thrillers I've seen in years. The suspense was nearly unbearable. Everything is possible till the last minute. I read some of the "professional" reviews and they are so terribly wrong, that I doubt they even watched the same movie. In fact this movie is so unique, that I never watched something nearly similar. Only one thing is more like horror: reviews by media sites

Great movie! Didn't expect it to be so thrilling but it was. As a parent you watch this thinking 'Dear Lord this is the worst kind of nightmare!' and as the movie progresses and you get an idea of what happened it still remains as scary. You get a hunch of what is going on in this movie very early on but there is left enough room to speculate other twists. I like how they ended the movie [spoiler] it was the best way to end it and I'm glad it didn't play out as a 'scary hospital human organ trafficking' kind of plot but went for a psychotic break down of epic proportions. [/spoiler]
If you expect over the top blood, bodies and other horror stuff, pass this movie. If you want to watch a psychological thriller with a dark theme, go for it!

I loved it. It was amazing with a lot of twists and turns.

totally gave me shutter island vibes!

i was flipping and flopping during the whole film... at one point it was is a nut job then with the visuals they kept showing i thought no maybe the hospital is doing some shady organ robbing stuff. Sam worthington did a nice job of convincing that he as missing his family, hell he had me rooting for him, even at the end i thought - wow you should be a politician you had me fooled for a full 1hr 40mins.

Right from the start, the strangeness that permeates the development of the film is evident. The doubt about what is real or not creates a constant feeling that something is wrong or about to happen. The intense and uncomfortable pace creates bizarre situations and, combined with solid performances, results in coherent characters who communicate in a confused way, maintaining a dark atmosphere of suspicion. This atmosphere strengthens the narrative, which takes unexpected paths and presents surprising twists and turns.

NOT TOO BAD

Recently, NETFLIX featured another of their original projects "Fractured" directed by Brad Anderson, director of the brilliant 2004 "mindfuck" project "The Machinist". The trailer for the movie determined that it would be a good enough thriller, and partly it did.

The story of the film revolves around a worried father, Ray Monroe, whose daughter falls from a small scarp and experiences a fracture of her arm. After bringing her and his wife to a local hospital, Ray soon misses his family. The doctors and nurses know nothing, and the police are impotent on arrival, so the man decides to find out what happened to his family and why everyone around him doesn't want to help him.

You know, the film's description, like the trailer for the film, made a really good impression on me, so I was expecting a sufficiently twisted and tense action from "Fractured", but after watching the film I only got a poorly developed and borrowed storyline from other similar bands. There is hardly any originality here, as certain moments were reminiscent of the same "The Machinist", "Shutter Island" or "The Sixth Sense"). Of course, I'm not spoiling, just saying that some of the elements were borrowed from the bands I mentioned.

The first half hour of the film is very boring, so getting into this story is quite difficult. And the oppressive and very uncomfrotable atmoshphere also damaged the beginning of the film. But even after the first tedious thirty minutes, it gets interesting because it creates intrigue that lasts to the very end. However, prediciting how this movie will end is not that difficult if you look at all the extraneous details and dialogues that unwittingly reveal the outcome of the movie. I liked some of the stunts with the storyline, though I couldn't say I was really surprised because as I wrote a little above, it was easy to predict their outcome.

The characters in the film are cardboard and completely unforgettable. The protagonist Ray, shows absolutely no sympathy, though his actions seem to show his great love for the family. At times, it didn't look like his family was gone, someone snatched a burger from the table and he lifted everyone around to try to find him on his feet. Same with his family, who was in the movie for a very short time, followed by her searches. Why? Because Ray's wife and daughter were given too little time to unfold and at the same time make them worry about their fate.

After the movie ended, a lot of questions arose because the tape didn't seem to be fully completed and a few storylines didn't quite work out. But the preview didn't take long, which made the movie watchable. It is important to reject high expectations as this is a typical NETFLIX middleman who will give a good time to the TV screen but will quickly forget after viewing.

The technical part of the movie looked pretty good. I quite liked the color palette. It is so gloomy and gray, which is why the atmosphere in the film itself was not very positive. The cinematographer's work is neat, the music doesn't get in the way, and the audio and video montages are good. There was no great WOW effect when looking at the outside of this movie, but there was nothing to complain about.

Long-sighted Sam Worthington didn't make a big impression. He played it, it looked like a tree with no emotions. Somehow lately he has been showing the same acting and facial expression which makes it quite difficult to believe the characters he plays. He played in sublime roles... I don't even know who played there. All the actors around Sam played third-rate and completely unforgettable roles.

Finally, do you want a simple, completely unoriginal, yet energetic thriller? This is this movie for you. It is ideally suited for slipping into the evening and resting from a busy day.

I think by the halfway mark of the show most viewers would have 2 main theories of what is going and they would probably be correct, but the show balances the 2 possibilities excellently so I would say it's interesting to watch
