Fracture

This was about a guy (Hopkins) representing himself in court for the attempted murder of his wife against a "hot shot" prosecutor (Gosling). I didn't like the movie. Notes and/or problems the movie had:

-Having not seen the trailer as far as I know, I spent about ten minutes trying to figure out if Hopkins would once again be the bad guy--in this case, the murderer. It wasn't clear because it seemed like Hopkins was supposed to be "cool" and he drove around in some sports car or whatever ("hot shot").
-Why do couples without children who've been together for a long time stay together when one or both don't love the other?
-The suit Gosling was to wear to Hopkins' hearing or whatever was on some sort of table with a lidless and full coffee next to it, which, of course, and irrelevantly, spilled all over the suit
-Community candy bowls are gross
-I'm tired of irrelevant "dating" between characters. Gosling's boss-to-be being in the movie was also pointless.
-She (his boss-to-be) invited Gosling, the technical stranger, whom she had only done it with to upcoming-Thanksgiving dinner at her family's home. He went.
-The ending was lame because there was no way of knowing: what relevance the cops standing outside Hopkins' home after his confession to Gosling, such as, was Gosling wired when he visited Hopkins' home after having been invited to get some gift? And, also, we don't know for a fact, while it is fiction, whether or not Hopkins gets life, or the death sentence, as the last scene was brief and in the courtroom where the last thing spoken was the judge asking for opening statements. I did get a kick out of the fact that Hopkins appeared to have at least two lawyers to defend him. I think there were like three or four.
-I'm glad more of my time wasn't wasted, but with a little more time, simple things like who the heck was who (beginning) and what became of Hopkins could have been answered (end). It was like catching a movie ten minutes in and leaving ten minutes early.
