Frailty is one heck of a B-movie. It is fun but also somewhat disturbing, which is a perfect mix in my opinion. I am not sure if some of the more cliched aspects of the film are intentional, but I like to think that they are. A really great time.

Recommended by Ron.

Yup, I liked it. Even if I had the whole thing figured out before halfway through, I still appreciate what they tried to do.
Lots of credit to Matthew McConaughey, he really did a great job. But you know when you recognize an actor, and you just can't put a finger on where you've seen him/her before? Well, that little boy.. Adam.. or rather, Jeremy Sumpter (after looking him up on IMDb). I just couldn't place him, and it annoyed me so much that I think it broke my focus from the film a few times. Turns out I remember him from Peter Pan, duh. I also remember something else from watching him in Peter Pan. I remember thinking that he looked slightly psychotic, with this smug grin on his face. I guess all that made him fit right in.

"Has God spoken to you yet?"

Bill Paxton is great in this.

A good little mystery-thriller that leaves you with just enough doubt to be certain of a conclusion. McConaghey is a lot better than I thought he'd be, Paxton is great too but the stand out is the young Fenton in the flashbacks. Paxton's unshowy directing really suits the acting too, just let everything play out with the minimum of fuss.

It's not the kind of film that's going to blow your mind but it keeps you on your toes and even when you think you've got it all worked out, there's another twist around the corner.

Really enjoyed this movie, the twist was fairly unexpected and I really liked the tone all around. I had a few issues with the editing, felt a couple things were shown that were really unnecessary and the super imposing of images is pretty dated.

Despite some predictable plot twists and messy plotting, Frailty is one of the better psychological thrillers out there. It does feel like an extra-long, extra-special episode of Criminal Minds at times, but for the most part, Bill Paxton wracks up the tension and builds superb atmosphere in his directorial debut, demonstrating a lot of skill behind the camera. He and McConnaghey, two usually solid actors, both deliver good performances, plus Powers Boothe makes anything watchable.

If you're into psychological thrillers, check this one out, Paxton's directing definitely makes it worth your while.

"Has God spoken to you yet?"

Bill Paxton is great in this.

Dark and atmospheric. Perhaps some of Bill Paxton's best work (both as an actor and director).

Very underrated horror film from the great Bill Paxton. It's a small film, but it has ambition and it pulls it off. It has some very nice ambiguity to it that I love.

Powers Boothe! Bill Paxton! Matt McConaughey!

Very solid B-movie thriller.

Bill Paxton needs to direct more, this is a fantastic film that keeps you guessing all the way through. I enjoyed the acting especially Matthew McConaughey who needs to do more roles like this one.

A good movie. It is effective in creating doubt (that should already be in your mind) but then blows your mind open in the end. The acting is a little hokey, but adds charm to the film. A really under the radar kind of film.
