Review of Fracture (2007) by Frankh. — 23 Sep 2007
Generally as an attorney I am able to appreciate literary license and understand that a film can not 100% reflect the realities of the law. But I do expect some basis in reality. The legal errors were so glaring that I was unable to enjoy the movie.
Just because a defendant waives a preliminary hearing doesn't mean that the trial is going to start the next day. When a defendant files a motion the prosecution has an opportunity to respond, in writing.
Judges don't make rulings in chambers, etc. My guess that a police investigator who saw this movie would have their own complaints about police procedure. That being said, Hopkins is still an interesting actor.
