		But it is the 'oldsters' Bill Paxton and Stephen Dillane, two characters whose stories don't fully unfold until the picture's end, that take the acting honours.
		Calm as the Caribbean at sunrise, Paxton allows only a few appropriate ripples to indicate the conflicts beneath his character's surface, while Dillane's Mr Allen, a shady investment adviser seems always one moment away from falling apart, no matter how slick he contrives to be.
		Bill Paxton is always a joy to watch - even if he's playing a modern-day polygamist in "Big Love" ($99.98, HBO, available Tuesday).

		A bit underwhelmed by his own acting prowess, Paxton decided to head to New York to study acting under famed drama coach Stella Adler.

		Paxton in particular cites Charles Laughton's classic, Night of the Hunter, starring Robert Mitchum, as a major influence on Frailty, which tells a story of child abuse, religious mania, and serial killing, laced with a healthy dose of Usual Suspects-style mind-game.
		Even though the film deals with a creepy, gruesome topic, Paxton "decided early on that I had to kind of imply the violence.
