Finally, I'm able to recommend two well made movies -- Fracture and Lookout.

Fracture was a very intelligent and extremely well written movie. Of course, with Anthony Hopkins playing the lead character, the acting was good, too. The entire plot was phenomenal. (Can someone tell me the type of car he was driving at the beginning of the movie?)

Lookout was a smart, low budget production that was also well written and conceived. Once again, the acting was excellent, particularly the main bad guy. It had a couple of comedic moments in there, too.

I strongly recommend both movies.

    Those movies sucked. Not a single robot with a full combat chassis in either movie.

    I'm pretty sure he was driving a Porsche, but not sure what the name of that model is.

    Fracture was alright but, I didn't really expect that much from it. the Lookout I was really looking foward to and the first half was great but the ending really fell short for me.

    We watched Fracture and it was decent for sure. The lookout we have waiting to be watched, maybe this weekend.

    I saw fracture, agree that it was decent to good. Want to see the lookout.

    I could never quite grasp what kind of accent Anthony Hopkins was going for. Also, while he was a genious in this movie, I feel it would be easier to just hire a hitman to take care of things while you're out of town. That's genious in it's simplicity.
