Weird, I’ve actually seen this movie and couldn’t agree more. In a land of movies that leave no real impression on viewers. This movie actually played an excellent orchestra of events which in the end turned you around in your seat and left you thinking…as you said for days (results may very).

After hearing such great things about this film, I bought the dvd and… Wow! What an overated piece of shit!!

Sorry for sounding so nasty, but it’s not that it was ‘bad’, as in an awful film, but it was…hmmm….’forgettable’ I guess is the word I’m thinking of.

It was a film which wasted minutes of my life, and then I moved on…(except when making comments like this).

At times, I think that being ‘forgettable’ or ‘blah” is even worse than a bad film.

Love this movie. Its one of my favorites. McCaughney can be either or and that is what is so great about his character.I love what happens with the two brothers as well. Paxton knocks the ball right out of the park on his first attempt. I remember the commercials for Frailty with all those quotes from other directors praising the film. The praise was well deserved, its fate was not. Its too bad something original gets treated that way while PG-13 horror movies and remakes get top billing.

No way, the ending was so good. All the time you believe they are just crazy murders and then…

They are actually working for God to destroy demons. BRILLIANT!

Frailty I enjoyed, but noone knows this movie exsists. And i feel that there better movies that should get a mention First! for Example one of my favourites Narc (2002).

I was one of the handful of people who caught this movie in the theater and have recommended it to people many times over.

Frailty was a good film, but I have to agree that it was very conflicting, and the ending was frustrating at best.

One of the most manipulative and conflicting movies ever made. i really loved it, but the ending absolutely doesn’t fit in with the rest of the film and just adds a big fat question mark on the purpose of the film.

Awesome choice! This movie was fantastic! McCaughney, Paxton, and Boothe were all solid, and the kids’ performances in the movie were some of the best I’ve seen!

Indeed a very good movie. Bill Paxton’s not only a competent director, but also gives an excellent performance in this. The story is chilling and Matthew McConaughey has a really great narrating voice.
