Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A resoundingly old-fashioned and well crafted study of evil infecting an American family, "Frailty" moves from strength to strength on its deceptive narrative course.
Paxton's first movie as director is better than you might expect. It has a first rate cast, and Bill Butler's camerawork and some deft editing help to crank up the tension.

Paxton wins quiet victories here as both star and helmer.
