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...

Movie quotes

[Adam Meiks and Agent Wesley Doyle talk in the police car on the way to the Rose Garden]

Agent Wesley Doyle: I just can't imagine how you'd keep something like that inside for so long.

Adam Meiks: I guess I avoided it because I wanted to.

[pause]

Adam Meiks: You know, you never did tell me why it is you just keep that one picture of your mother in your office.

Agent Wesley Doyle: My mother was murdered a couple days after that picture was taken. Butchered by some wacked-out killer like your dad.

Adam Meiks: Did they ever catch him?

Agent Wesley Doyle: No.

Adam Meiks: Is that why you took this job?

Agent Wesley Doyle: You know, you're pretty good at this. Did you ever think about becoming a cop?

Adam Meiks: Well, you know, when I was a kid.

Agent Wesley Doyle: Well, you've got the instincts for it. Cops gotta have good instincts. You know what mine are telling me now? You are hiding something from me.

Adam Meiks: What is it you think I'm hiding?

Adam Meiks: Well, why don't you just keep on talking and maybe I'll figure that out.
[voice-over during when Dad, Young Fenton and Young Adam are preparing to capture the second demon]

Adam Meiks: Dad told us that there were moments in everyone's life when they could suddenly just disappear without anyone knowing where they went or why. He said those were the moments when God's hands would reach out and take you. According to Dad, nothing, not even a camera could catch us. We were invisible when we were God's hands.
[Dad, Young Fenton and Young Adam return to the shed with the second demon, Edward March]

Dad: Edward March?

[Edward March wakes up]

Dad: You think that's an innocent man there, but it's not.

[Dad reaches to touch the head of Edward March to reveal his sins]

Dad: You didn't think anybody knew about that, did you? But God saw you!

Young Fenton: Dad, don't! Please!

Dad: [Dad closes the shed window and raises the ax over Edward March] And you can't escape God's wrath!

[Afterwards, we see Dad, Young Fenton and Young Adam burying the second demon in the Rose Garden]

Dad: I still can't believe you didn't see it. He was a murderer of little children, Fenton. Babies... babies.

[Dad walks off]

Young Fenton: He's the murderer. We got to get out of here, Adam.

Young Adam: What do you mean?

Young Fenton: We gotta run away. I told you we were gonna have to.

Young Adam: I don't want to run away.

Young Fenton: [Fenton continues to dump the limbs into the hole] We have to.

Young Adam: Why?

Young Fenton: Listen to me, Adam... Dad kills people.

Young Adam: No he doesn't! He's a demon slayer.

Young Fenton: That's all lies, Adam.

Young Adam: No, it's not, I see it when he touches them.

Young Fenton: No, you don't. Dad's brainwashed you, it's all a big lie. He's a murderer and you help him.

Young Adam: Nuh-uh! We're just serving God's will. I'm telling Dad on you!

Young Fenton: Adam! Adam!
