Frailty Review - Off The Shelf Reviews 

Agreed!

Jesus H Christ stop being overly dramatic please. "A far darker place"? Cringe

Frailty came to amazon prime and I re-watched it and couldn't help but constantly think "man, bill Paxton was such a great damn actor" and immediately getting really sad knowing we lost a great one. I also recently did the same with Alpha Dog with anton yelchin and just getting emotionally crushed knowing we've lost some damn great actors.

I felt the same way when we lost John Ritter as well.

​@@brendancaldwell7755typing Jesus H christ is far more cringy.. Maybe you Gen z for us who grew up with 80s and 90s movies. Nostalgia

Yeah bro the older I get I see all my even older favorite actors and actresses going away from this world.. Sad thing as if our nostalgia dies with it

The twist ruins it.

@@sidnew2739 In your opinion

@@supoa9489 Absolutely. Religious fanatism is nothing that should be justified.

I saw the former but not the latter. I'll have to watch the latter.

@@Kurtsg10 Both movies have amazing soundtracks.

Great movie and definitely stil a hidden gem.. I even remember back in the days I saw it coming out but somehow I didn't pay attention to it.. And I remember that I heard it's a good movie but somehow I still didn't gave it a shot. I was shopping in a second hand store that also sells dvd movies and blurays saw it immediately bought it watched it and I loved it immediately.. Somehow dvd is old and mostly the image quality isn't good but with full screen ratio movies the quality looks like bluray and this movie will remain in my collection.. Very unique movie

Was this really the only ambiguous thing for you?

@@violinmerchant Well... yeah. I can't think of anything else that wasn't straightforward. There shouldn't be any question about whether the visions are real. You just have to accept it for the movie.

Our reviews are always planned and ready weeks in advance to fight off copyright, but it was a great suggestion :D Hope you enjoy the review later

Wow!

That must have been really frustrating.

Dean, this movie does seem like a more realistic version of Supernatural doesn't it.

That's a Christmas gift for you

Mmm, i was a bit surprised at the take that the visions were real, but i suppose you can see it as a very disturbing supernatural thriller. I always saw it as Paxton manipulating the boys from the start, even if the victims crimes were real (which is questionable) he could just have done proper research.

This exactly. It's like, what kind of God is this? All of these people who are "demons" have committed actual crimes. There are actual LAWS they have broken. It makes no sense that Bill Paxton gets this list and, instead of gathering evidence and presenting it to the police so that they can build a case and pursue a prosecution, the assumption is that God wants him to be the actual arbiter of justice and kill these people. Then it goes full bizarro-world off the rails by having Matthew McConaughey become an ACTUAL POLICE OFFICER. I don't know if the film is arguing that the actual law-enforcement apparatus of the country should be comprised of people who have been divinely selected by God to dole out punishment for people who violate MORAL law rather than allowing the wheels of justice to appropriately address criminal activity through a robust process of deliberation. It is utterly bizarre, even more so since 90% of the movie is spent casting shade on the very notion that there is a spiritual compulsion to these murders at all. That's why I kind of love this film, including the twist. It's a genuinely well made film that goes to incredible lengths to stimulate the critical faculties of the audience, which encourages them to be skeptical of Bill Paxton and identify with Fenton, then turns around and tells us that we were idiots for even trying. It has all the hallmarks a prank, and gives you that feeling like when you think someone is making fun of you but you just can't tell, so you sit and wait to see whether they're actually serious or not. The movie should be in a museum. I've never seen anything quite like it.

If your read the bible God has instructed certain followers to kill people who are evil. Your sound triggered.

@@supoa9489 It also says let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Fundamentally the message being that it is beyond the scope of man to cast judgement, mankind being bequeathed with original sin, forgiven for that sin by accepting Jesus Christ as lord and savior, but not restored to his innocence from before the fall of man in the garden. I know this and I don't even practice.

@@supoa9489 The bible is fantasy and it's men's law we act out, not god's.
