The Mysteries of Fractured the thriller movie.

Movie Review: Fractured 2019, Mystery & thriller.

Driving cross-country, Ray and his wife and daughter stop at a highway rest area where his daughter falls and breaks her arm. After a frantic rush to the hospital and a clash with the check-in nurse, Ray is finally able to get her to a doctor. While the wife and daughter go downstairs for an MRI, Ray, exhausted, passes out in a chair in the lobby. Upon waking up, they have no record or knowledge of Ray’s family ever being checked in.

Most of the doctors have changed shifts, and the only nurse still there says that Ray came alone and was treated for a head wound. Ray becomes distressed, is restrained by security and, after being given a sedative, is locked in a room. He escapes and waves down two police officers, who agree to investigate.

What Happened According To Ray.

Ray and his wife had a minor argument. They stopped so their daughter, Peri, could use the bathroom. A dog tried to attack Peri, and he threw a stone at the dog. Peri was too close to the edge and fell into the construction site. Ray attempted to catch her, but he also fell and hit his head. When he came to, his wife was yelling at him to snap out of it. They noticed that their daughter is alive and conscious, but her hand was fractured.

Ray took them to the hospital and signed in. Dr. Berthram put Peri’s hand in a sling. After that, he advised getting a CT Scan done for her. Ray’s wife, Joanne, and Peri entered the lift and headed down. Ray caught a little snooze, and when he woke, Peri and Joanne went missing, and the hospital claimed that Peri was never admitted. After that, Ray brought down the roof looking for his family and got the help of two police officers.

They went to the site of the accident and noticed blood at the spot where Peri fell. The hospital counselor tried to convince Ray that he killed his family. That there never was a dog, and that he threw the stone at his daughter. But ray got a sight of the dog and held the counselor at gunpoint. He locked her in with the cops and got back to the hospital to look for his family.

After a fight with the hospital security, he headed to floor LL. Here he saw a couple of dead bodies with their organs missing. He also located his wife and daughter just before the “evil” doctors of the hospital operated on them. He saved Joanne and Peri and got into his car and drove away.

What Actually Happened To Ray’s Family?

The Ending of the movie Fractured reveals that Ray has become insane. He has taken a random patient out of the hospital and driven away. Joanne and Peri are dead and are in the boot of the car. While Ray imagines talking to his wife, he’s merely talking to himself while a sick patient is dying in his back seat.

Ray is a recovering alcoholic and is struggling with his marriage. The dog was real, he did not throw the stone at his daughter. However, Peri falls to her death, and this makes him lose his mind. He pushes Joanne aside, and she lands on an iron rod, getting impaled. Ray puts the dead bodies of his wife and daughter in the trunk of his car and constructs a reality where they are still alive.

Recall the first scene when they are returning from a thanksgiving dinner at Joanne’s home. She’s clearly upset about how Ray behaved at her place. Ray has issues. Ray being drunk was perhaps the reason why he got into an accident years before. The car crash resulted in the death of this first wife and unborn child. Ray was already damaged because of this. Over the years, he’s been fighting his problem with alcohol. This has clearly put a strain on their relationship with his current wife. But he wants to be a supportive father and husband.

Unfortunately, the accident at the construction site makes him lose both his daughter and wife (all over again), and this makes him lose his mind. In the end, he goes down to floor LL, which is an authentic surgery floor. Ray imagines seeing the bodies with their organs removed. He imagines the doggie toy his daughter had. Though he takes the scarf from his daughter at the construction site, he imagines Joanne giving it to him at the hospital. Ray is a man driving away into a void.

If you are a fan of thrillers I recommend this movie. You can find it on Netflix. Get your popcorn, sit down and enjoy.
