...action, romance and character is a sense of political drama, prefigured in Phantom Menace. If that movie had a message, it was: Take a meeting.

Frailty doesn’t delve into the father’s psyche, leaving the psychology out of the thriller, and uses one huge leap of improbable FBI procedure to span the gaping hole in his plot and stitch together the two disparate halves of his story...
