      Two comments on imdb

      The subtext of free will is very consciously handled in this film; in one scene, Fenton and Adam were even watching a claymation parable about it on tv. For anyone with a comparative understanding of the religion, the question of free will versus destiny is one of the major themes in Christianity. I think Frailty uses that to great effect. It does seem to come down more on the side of destiny being written and the worth of a soul being weighed out before the sins have been committed, or, at the...

      Analyze the "Hand of God" from the origin and on the timeline

      A family of three, a father and two sons. The father worked hard to support his family in order to get his son back to a normal life from the shadow of losing his mother. Life is still happy.

            One day, their lives changed-the father suddenly ran into his son's room one night and told his son that he saw an angel and told him that there were demons in this world, and their family was chosen to be the "hands of God". Go to destroy the devil. Later, his father got an axe and a pair...

      Father and Son Murder Team

      It's actually a good story, reasonable and unexpected.

      After reading it, I am still vague in some places. For example, is my father crazy, imaginary, or really got a god?

      But in the end it clearly showed that Adam did see the devil and saw the sinful nature of the world’s murderer. Fenton represented the most normal human emotions and reactions and thoughts, but he could not see God’s revelation because he did not believe in God. , He has no faith. From this point of view,...

      unique movie

      this is ridiculous that I could find more than 100 comment on popcorn movie like kund fu panda or Narnia but there is no comment on this movie! I admit that it's not a famous movie and may be ppl can't find it easliy on dvd shop or internet but it was extremely worth a watching.
         The plot fights aginst ppl's religion,especially who believes jesus.I had to admit it's an intriguing plot,including suspense,faith,conflict and fear.nowadays hollywood script writers launch a strike for their...

      It’s only when you see a high evaluation, it can’t be described as good or bad

      Well-paced film, does not feel very boring, although it has also some old-fashioned
      begin intuition will feel this man is a murderer, his father began to feel something wrong from the beginning to the end suddenly reversed,
      our materialism, this film still The alternative is fresh, and the
      freshness lies in the fact that at the beginning it was not a monster, but a reality.
      It is not until the end that you overthrow all your thoughts and thoughts.
      I have been very upset...

      The thriller is awesome, but the logic of the film is weird: there are good serial killers and bad killers in this world, and good killers follow the will of God and are...

      First of all, this is a suspenseful and thoughtful film; secondly, the dirty society still needs and must exist such a "chasing angel"; ! Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, even if you worship the gods in the yang and do evil in the yin, there must be a pair of "hands of God" to judge...

      The ending is a bit interesting, but the plot is not compact and can't stand scrutiny, I feel like I can't justify it...

      Killing for God is also murder, and all judgments are based on the afterlife and the end. Human justice never depends on the "hand of God" or the...

    Evaluation action

    The film is a story about faith, original sin, and the indistinguishable nature of good and evil in people's hearts. A disturbing theme, accompanied by a genius storytelling, makes it a compact psychological horror film. Although the film was Bill Paxton’s first feature-length film directed, it left a deep impression on people. In the film, Matthew McConaughey and the two child stars who played the Fenton brothers played well and the...
