Hollywood actor Anthony Hopkins has got his teeth into another murderous role in his new thriller Fracture.

The 59-year-old who is well known for playing the cult character Hannibal Lecter, stars opposite relative newcomer Ryan Gosling in the courtroom drama.

In the movie Hopkins plays Ted Crawford - a man accused of the murder of his wife in a seemingly open-and-shut case

In the movie Hopkins plays Ted Crawford - a man accused of murdering his wife in a seemingly open-and-shut case and Gosling is Willy Beachum a hot-shot attorney bent on bringing the suspect to justice.

The film also features Bond girl Rosamund Pyke who plays an ambitious lawyer and the love interest of Gosling.

Despite the fact you know from the start he definitely did the deed, be prepared for the fact you might end up liking Mr Hopkins's character.

But of course with any good psychological thriller, things are never that simple, so expect lots of twists and turns in this clever flick.
