Frailty (2002) Rated R for Violence & Language Director: Bill Paxton Starring Bill Paxton, Matthew McConaughey, Powers Boothe, Luke Askew, Jeremy Sumpter, & Matt O' Leary. The film's plot focuses on Fenton Meiks(Matthew McConaughey) who claims to know the indentity of a serial killer behind a series of murders known as the "God's hands" killings. "Frailty" marks the directorial debut of Bill Paxton. And his film is a very impressive piece of film making. Paxton also stars in the film as a loving father, but also a psychotic, twisted, and demented human being. He delivered a brilliant performance. Definitely one of his finest. As for the rest: I was impressed by everybody. Matthew McConaughey was great as this man who experienced many bad things during his childhood. And the child actor, Matt O' Leary did an excellent job portraying his younger self. Brent Henley's wonderful script is so unique, so intriguing, and so disturbing. I truly believe that Henley's enable Bill Paxton as a director to do a terrific job. Along with the acting and the direction, the script is responsible for sending chills down your spine with every step. "Frailty" reminded me of such classic Horror films like "The Omen" or "The Shining". They all do not bombard you with massive amounts of blood and gore to frighten you. Instead, they rely on their intelligence and well-written stories to accomplish that. Several years from now, "Frailty" will become a movie that people will immediately think of when they feel like watching something from the Horror genre. Running Time: 1 hour 45 minutes Grade: 9/10 Strider
