Fraility


Fraility
Released -April 12, 2002
Rated-R
Genre -Horror

Bill Paxtons first directing effort is a compelling and haunting thriller that effectively challenges the viewers perceptions and expectations. The result is an underrated project that features impressive acting from the entire cast, particularly young OLeary and Sumpter, and an excellent original and well-written story with believable, authentic characters.
The story here blasts off immediately as Fenton Meiks (McConaughey) walks into an FBI office late one evening and announces that he has information about a serial killer known as the Gods Hand Killer that he will only give to the lead investigator. When Agent Wesley Doyle (Powers Boothe) arrives, Meiks begins a long, engrossing tale about his family history, which includes himself as a twelve year old(played by Matt OLeary), his father (Bill Paxton) who believes that an angel has told him that God wants him to destroy demons, and a younger brother, Adam, played by Jeremy Sumpter, who embraces his fathers vision.
