This psychological thriller written by Game of Thrones showrunner David Benioff is almost as confusing as Ryan Gosling's Conor Oberst hair.
In Fracture, Anthony Hopkins is basically his Silence of the Lambs character, only this time he's the defendant and Gosling is the Deputy D.A. trying to prosecute him.
Two bored, rich men do some murder, and it's up to Sandra Bullock to solve it! (Gosling stars as one of the murderers in question.) Murder By Numbers is a slightly better script away from going down as an early-aughts cult classic.
After their triumph with Drive, Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn reunited for this immoral bloodbath. While Only God Forgives has moments of Drive-esque greatness, it doesn't come close to the heights of their previous team-up.
Gosling stars alongside writer and director George Clooney in this well-acted political drama that had no idea what was coming in 2016. That said, The Ides of March is an eerie watch today and it perhaps deserves a little more credit than its mixed reception elicited from critics in 2011.
