"Only demons should fear me.... and you're not a demon, are you?" - Dad Meiks
Release Date: April 12, 2002
Studio: Lions Gate Films
Director: Bill Paxton
Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton, Derk Cheetwood, Blake King, Luke Askew, Brad Berryhill, Powers Boothe
Plot Summary: Set in present day Texas, "Frailty" centers on the FBI's search for a serial killer who calls himself "God's Hands.” McConaughey plays Fenton Meeks, a young man who approaches the lead investigator, one night, claiming he knows the identity of the killer. The FBI agent is curious, but unimpressed until Fenton reveals that the killer is his younger brother Adam. In the style of "The Usual Suspects," Fenton recounts in a series of flashbacks, how he and his brother grew up in a very loving family, raised by their widowed father (Paxton). All that changed, the day his father awoke, believing he had been visited by an angel and given a mission to destroy "demons" – seemingly normal looking people, who walked this earth as pure evil. Fenton’s father, and then his brother Adam, swore to carry out this ‘divine’ mission. Fenton refused to participate in the killings and tried to persuade his brother to do the same, but it was obvious to him that they had ‘snapped.’ Out of loyalty however, he refused to go to the police, until now. Believing Fenton’s startling tale of the slaughter of innocents, the FBI agent follows Fenton to the family’s rose garden only to be surprised that neither evil nor innocence are what they seem.

Last night I went to finally see the movie Frailty after waiting for weeks...and I wasn't dissapointed. A haunting and disturbing movie if there ever was one, probably one of the best thrillers in recent memory. Bill Paxton does a great job as the well meaning but disturbed father. This was just a really good and creepy movie, especially when Adam finishes the job that his dad could not. I recommend this movie for anyone who enjoys a great psychological movie. The movie deserves all the critical acclaim it gets. t's not a bright and shiney picture, but a dark and disturbing one.
