Download Free Frailty

It has been a rather annoying trend in recent cinema that most Horror/
Thriller films depend solely on gore to provide shocks for the
audience. It is commendable then that Frailty (the directional debut of
actor Bill Paxton) is a film that makes a point of steering clear of
this trend, and to great effect.

Story-wise Frailty is nothing special. The film follows the young life
of Fenton Meiks (Matthew McConaughey and Matt O'Leary) and his brother
Adam (Jeremy Sumpter) as their father (Bill Paxton) puts together a
string of murders in what he believes to be his god given mission to
rid the world of demons. From the start it is clear the film is
building up to some event or revelation, and to start with the film
does a good job of keeping the audience interested. This is mainly down
to the engagement we feel with the characters, something that must be
largely attributed to the brilliant acting of the two young stars of
the film and the surprisingly solid turn from McConaughey.

This same level of interest is maintained throughout the film's first
two thirds as it plays out as more of a drama than a thriller,
demonstrating the strain of such traumatising events on a young lives.
The film however stumbles in the final third. The "twists" of the film
don't live up to there build up as they turn out to be what you were
expecting all along. Furthermore the film finishes on a rather
disturbing note which slightly distorts the message of all that has
gone before it.

Despite this i stick by my commendation of the lack of gore in a film
that could have exploited it to the highest degree. Instead the
audience are treated with the 'what you don't see is more horrifying'
approach, which turns out to have chilling effect and compliments the
way in which the film explores the characters surrounding the murders
rather than the murders themselves. This is then a very promising debut
from Bill Paxton.

Overall Frailty can be summed up as a film to be admired rather than
enjoyed, the acting and direction are both brilliant. It's just a shame
that this combination couldn't reel in what is a rather disappointing
and messy conclusion to an otherwise good film.

5/10.

SUCKS.

fraility is a fantastic thriller.

iron man is a movie that is great.

iron man is great.

he film is very complete in what it is, keeping one continuously interested with the flashbacks to childhood and growing up with such a bizarre father, and interspersing it with the tails of serial murder, one simply cannot go wrong. The very plot in itself, the very story and essence of the film, is entertaining. It is the sort of story that the director (Bill Paxton) could do so much with, and in this case, he really did do a lot with it. From beginning to end you are kept anticipating more and more about what is happening and where the film is going, and the creativity that is behind this story is first class. I felt as if this film was exquisitely done from start to finish, and one of those rare gems that seemed to be without any boring lulls -- the action flowing neatly, quickly, and tightly from one scene to the next. It demonstrates just how far people can go: so as to do such horrible things to their loved ones, and to do such acts of evil, in the name of 'God' when they are disillusioned as in this case. It also is sometimes interesting in its' twists & takes on the concept of morality as a whole. Overall, this is the sort of film that one easily overlooks, but I would recommend you to not do likewise and to check this film out -- it is very much so worth your time.. Also I recommended Download Free Captain Nemo And The Underwater City Movie.

Frailty starts late one night as at the FBI headquarters in Dallas
where a man named Fenton Meiks (Matthew McConaughey) tells Agent Wesley
Doyle (Powers Boothe) that he know's who the God's Hand serial killer
is, Fenton claims that the killer is his brother Adam Meiks. Agent
Doyle is sceptical but Fenton goes on to tell him an incredible story
about his childhood & his religious father (Director Bill Paxton) who
after seeing visions of Angels sets out to destroy demons by killing
people who who had committed sins & were named by the Angels, Fenton
says he could only see his father murdering innocent people & refused
to believe in God & Angels but his father tried to convince him
otherwise. Fenton claims that when his father died Adam carried on
where he left off...

This American, German & Italian co-production was the feature film
directorial debut of actor Bill Paxton who many people will have seen
in a film or two & will remember the guy but probably won't know his
name, he's been in films such as Alien (1986), Near Dark (1987), True
Lies (1994), Apollo 13 (1995) & even Titanic (1997) to name but a few.
This film is all about the script & it's concepts, ideas & it's
twist's. The framing narrative of Frailty is similar to The Usual
Suspects (1995) in which a story is being told to some law enforcement
agent explaining some criminal plot right down to the twist ending
which are also strikingly similar as the storyteller turns out to be
not who we originally thought but the main body of the film deals with
two young brother's who just happen to have a crazy religious nut as
their father who starts killing people after Angels from heaven told
him to. The main concept of Frailty is the conflict between the young
Fenton & his father, the way Fenton denounces God while his father
insists he is right makes for some gripping scenes. The majority of
Frailty is left ambiguous but the end where everything is revealed the
script seems to suggest that they were right & that Fenton became a
demon in a roundabout ironic clever sort of way that gets you thinking
I suppose & is a debating point. While not the masterpiece many seem to
consider it I did like Frailty, it's a well thought out psycho thriller
with various religious overtones & explores some ideas & themes that
you may not expect it to.

The directing is solid & it's a fine looking film although not overly
memorable in any way besides the striking script. The film doesn't
focus too much on the murders as it's more interested in the twisted
motivations & reasons behind them, there's a bit of blood splatter but
nothing graphic. Not your typical father & son sickly relationship
Hollywood feel-good drama the title Frailty apparently refers to the
disintegration of the family, the distributor wanted to call the film
God's Hand but director Paxton & writer Brent Hnaley insisted the title
Frailty be kept.

With a supposed budget of about $11,000,000 this was set in Texas but
mainly filmed in California. The acting is strong all round, the young
child actor's are good & don't annoy either while Paxton puts in a
solid performance with Powers Boothe & Matthew McConaughey also earning
their fee.

Frailty is a hard film to categorise as it's part thriller, part
horror, part domestic drama & part mystery but if your prepared to put
the effort in & watch it then it's a fairly rewarding experience. Not a
masterpiece but better than average..
