FRAILTY
With
Matthew
McConnaughy,
Bill
Paxton,
Powers
Boothe
Directed
by
Bill
Paxton
When
a
man
walks
into
the
office
of
an
FBI
agent
investigating
the
God's
Hand
serial
murders,
an
incredible
and
gruesome
tale
unfolds.
He
says
he
knows
who
the
killer
is
and
tells
of
his
childhood
and
how
his
father
received
visions
from
God
to
kill
demons
with
the
help
of
his
two
boys.
The
one
is
completely
devoted
to
his
father's
twisted
wisdom
while
the
other
is
shocked
and
horrified,
not
wanting
to
be
a
part
of
it.
The
script
digs
into
the
religious
issue
of
belief
conviction
in
the
face
of
horror
and
right
&
wrong.
When
God
calls,
do
you
answer?
And
is
it
in
fact
Him
or
are
you
merely
insane?
I
think
this
is
actor
Bill
Paxton's
directorial
debut
(if
not,
this
is
his
most
prominent
film,
then).
The
dark
laced
religious
theme
and
off
screen
axe-horror
coupled
with
finely
tuned
tension
and
good
performances
make
Frailty
an
intriguing
thriller
that
is
refreshing
and
does
not
go
the
teen
schlock
route
-
thank
God!
Ignore
the
"it'll
keep
you
guessing
till
the
end"
taglines
and
just
enjoy
this
very
interesting
film
of
murder,
faith
and
insanity.
