If the screen image of Clint Eastwood is a cowboy on the bloody yellow sand who fights for a lifetime, then Hopkins' screen image is that of a swordsman who fights for a lifetime in the battlefield of wisdom and humanity. Really, in recent years, he has played so many old men who have exhausted their scheming and insight into the wisdom of the world, all in order to fight against any opponent. In Fracture, he naturally challenged a young and vigorous DA; his Daniel Webster signed a deal with the devil. In Meet Joe Black he simply had a tea chat with the handsome Reaper.
Therefore, from the perspective of his opponent's level, Fracture is a small case. Hopkins is the butcher's knife in this movie.
So the protagonist of the film is Ryan Gosling, not Hopkins. But unfortunately, from the perspective of the script, this story is so similar to the "inspirational" novel (Sidney Shelton) that Americans love to see and hear, so that there is nothing new. Aside from that lovely vase heroine, the only thing worth seeing is the magnificent sunset city of Los Angeles, and that's fake.
