Ryan is so so and does not need a southern accent. Anthony has done this character so many times before. Could have been better with the fairly rich material.
If you have nothing better to do...
This Movie Was Amazeing. It Had All The Things You Need In A movie And Defientialy one of my new top 5 movies. A MUST See Effective dialogue doesn't necessarily mean witty dialogue, but wit certainly helps, and you tend not to get much of it in a low-key legal thriller.
"Fracture" is an exception. It features some pungent exchanges between, among others, Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling, playing a murderous smoothie and his adversary, a hotshot assistant district attorney. Like Michael Caine, Gene Hackman and plenty of other pros, Hopkins is at a point in his career where the on-screen effort expended has become practically subliminal (and sometimes frankly lazy).
The difference between a less-good and a good Hopkins portrayal is the difference between fighting boredom, and fighting it and winning--transcending the fatigue through sheer, wily craftsmanship. Hopkins is more engaged here than he has been in other recent assignments ("Proof," "All the King's Men"). Even when he indulges in a bit of courtroom hamming, it's selective and purposeful hamming.
