Who is telling the truth?If you enjoy thrillers that take you on a twisty, turny ride and keep you guessing until the very last frame, you will absolutely love "Fractured." Available to stream right now on Netflix, it is a brilliant, slow-burn descent into madness.What's 'Fractured' about?Ray Monroe (Sam Worthington) is a man on the edge, trapped on a tense family road trip with his wife, Joanne (Lily Rabe), and their young daughter, Peri.
