The imagery is striking, atmospheric and generally creepy, but gore is never shown that much, most of the killing occurs off-screen, adding an element of mystery. ... Full Review

"Frailty" stars, and is directed by Bill Paxton ("A Simple Plan") and it is a very good first effort at directing for the successful character actor. Production values are good for this fairly low-budget film. ... Full Review

The dialogue is unintentionally funny at a number of points, especially when Bill Paxton is carefully delivering exposition on his insane plot. There are a number of shocking and tense moments among all the schlock. ... Full Review

railty is especially difficult to pin down for a film that feels like just another kooky thriller with a trick pony up its sleeve.....his direction is surprisingly restrained.....Paxton reveals his gratitude for producer David Kirschner on "The Making of Frailty ," a standard....Lions Gate has amassed an impressive array of features for this handsome DVD edition of Bill Paxton's overrated yet moody directorial debut..... ...

even the most talented director could not have elevated it much beyond it's current state without a complete rewrite.....This film plods along so conventionally....Not because I think he's that great of an actor....But this movie is so painfully transparent....However, I suspect that the screenplay itself was so dismal.... ...

Resist the temptation to pick up the usual crap (yes, I mean The Scorpion King ) and take a risk with the potently creepy, criminally underrated Frailty . ... Full Article

The script by first-time screenwriter Brent Hanley is back-loaded with all the twists and turns saved for the final moments. The bulk of the movie plays like a simple plan, giving you too much time to consider every detail. ... Full Article
