frailty

at the beginning of frailty, matthew mcconaughey has gone in to see an fbi agent about the knowledge he has of the identity of a serial killer known as god's hand. i've basically seen the film twice now, because the second time i rented it, i had forgotten that i had seen it the first time (kind of embarrassing but true) and it is a bit of a forgettable film, but there are some good parts to it and i would recommend it. there is an entire genre, which includes twin peaks fire walk with me, that is about fbi agents tracking down serial killers, and i have an interest in these stories of psychic fbi agents and the evil they track down. ----although in this movie the fbi agent himself isn't the psychic. there is at least one twist in the plot of this film, which to my mind doesn't make it any scarier. but it is an interesting plot, told in flashbacks, about bill paxton as the father of two sons, one of whom grows up to be the god's hand killer. bill paxton tries to convince both his sons that he has had a vision of what God wants him to do, to eliminate demons from the world. as such, it is a rather silly plot, but take it for what it is---- it's worth seeing.
