Yes, I know, many genre-savvy people love this film, and if the final act would be as atmospheric and clever as those that come before, I would most certainly be one of them. But, this being an American movie of the early 21st century, we obviously need a plot twist, or even better, two, never mind that the first ruins the film and the second is just taking the piss.
And if this wasn't enough Frailty is another victim of the terrible compulsion of too many western movies of the last fifteen years to overexplain everything, to treat the viewer as too moronic to interpret what's happening for herself, the absolute refusal to leave anything ambiguous.
But I'm ranting.
