Frailty
Double Feature with REQUIEM (7:00)
2001 • dir Bill Paxton w/Bill Paxton, Matthew McConaughey, Powers Boothe, Matt O’Leary, Jeremy Sumpter • 100 min • 35mm
The great character actor Bill Paxton’s directorial debut, FRAILTY features Paxton as a man who believes that he has been tasked by God to destroy demons on earth with the help of his two sons. Told in flashback while one of the grown sons (McConaughey) relates the story to an FBI agent (Boothe), this underrated thriller uses subjective storytelling to draw the viewer in while it sets up unexpected twists.
Staff Pick! Billy: “Impressive debut.”
