Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Paxton wins quiet victories here as both star and helmer.
– Michael Wilmington,

fresh:
With an admirably dark first script by Brent Hanley, Paxton, making his directorial feature debut, does strong, measured work.
– Chuck Wilson,

fresh:
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.

fresh:
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.
– Robert Koehler,

rotten:
Paxton steals the show. And O'Leary more than holds his own again here. Too bad it's in a movie that fails to live up to its potential.
