Frailty wasn't so bad. Although I think if I watched it again, I would probably not like it as much as I did at the time. I have little tolerance for movies that rely almost completely on some twist ending for their impact now.

But I think on the strength of the performance of the two kids, I'd still say it's an above-average thriller.

Frailty - I have it only on tape but haven't watched it in a couple of years. I'll give it another shot.

I do remember having a hard time connecting the adult sheriff character to the proper kid.

This is a spoiler for those who haven't seen Frailty:

But yes, I think that was the whole point. You think the story is being told from one character's perspective until the end, when it's revealed that it's told from another. I don't think he was a sheriff, though. It's been a long time since I've seen it too. Might be wrong.

Alex D Linz = Dress Code

Good fun movie, easily Alex's best role.

IMO Frailty only works if you actually believe in The Devil, and in God, and in the concept of Good vs Evil and all it's accompanying hypobole. As for the contrived mishmash ending, it twisted itself into pointlessness.
