Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

josepainumkal I found this movie very engaging and thrilling. It starts on a slow note, then picks up pace and ends nicely. All the characters played their role well. I liked the portrayal of father and son relationship between Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel. Elizabeth Mitchell played the role of a young mother extremely well. Since we expect the film to have an happy end, one could imagine how the movie will turn around and finally ends. But still it didn't spoil the thrill. In my words, "Frequency" is a decent entertainer that will never disappoint you.

Filipe Neto This film is a family drama in which a son communicates with his father, dead for years, through a radio that, through some mysterious means and that the film does not clarify much, opens a temporary portal or something. All those who say this seems implausible have reason to say it, and I understand that because I also thought so. The problem with the script is that it has its origin in such a weak premise because otherwise the story is profound, touching and so pleasing that the logical weakness of the story ends up being forgiven. The characters are also easily appealing and pleasing, being well developed from the psychological point of view. Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel are the main actors of the cast and have lived up to expectations, achieving a very pleasant bond between them. The rest of the cast virtually does what it has to do and nothing else.

zkonedog It never ceases to amaze me that some movies, despite being incredible in what they do, don't get nearly the attention they deserve. "Frequency" is an example of exactly that situation.For a basic plot summary, "Frequency" tells the story of a father Frank Sullivan (Dennis Quaid) and his son Jon (Jim Caviezel). After establishing the strong father-son bond the two have in 1969, the movie cuts to 1999, where Jon is a wore out cop struggling to keep is life together. On the night before the anniversary of his father's death, a strange aurora borealis effect (combined with a ham radio) produce a "frequency" that allow father (1969) and son (1999) to talk with each other once again.This movie is so compelling and full of real human drama that words in a review hardly do it justice. In fact, it almost sounds cheesy and a bit oft-putting to describe the plot. Rest assured, though, that this is about as quality of a movie as one can find. It quite literally has everything...incredibly real-feeling characters, a mind-bending plot, great acting, and emotional story lines that will have you welling up in both tears of joy and sadness on certain occasions.I am utterly flabbergasted that a movie like this doesn't get more recognition. Most people I know have not seen it (a crying shame!). It is also the kind of movie that the whole family can enjoy. There is no harsh violence or terrible profanity. Director Gregory Hoblit crafts "Frequency" into a genre-diverse (and aren't those the best kind of films?!) masterpiece that proves creativity still has a place in Hollywood."Frequency" is one of my favorite films of all-time. It tackles so many elements of filmmaking, yet manages to seamlessly weave them all into a tapestry of wonderment. If you haven't had the pleasure (and you probably haven't, knowing this film's relatively unknown stature), you are missing out on an incredible experience.

bluesman-20 Frequency is one of the most unique stories ever told. A young cop whose life is falling apart starts to talk on his father's old ham radio. His father has been dead for 30 years. When John Sullivan starts talking on the radio during a unique solar storm he actually speaks to his dad. together they change the course of their lives John by saving Frank's life during a fire. But in doing so they change history. John's mother is murdered. and Together Father and Son must find a way to prevent this. and bring the killer to justice. Not your typical Sci-Fi movie It is however a movie with heart. and as a result because of it and o f the original story. It stays with you. Even now more then 14 years later I still watch this movie fondly. Cherishing it. The characters are not cardboard cut outs they act like real people. In a weird situation. It's set against the back beat of the 69 world series and the miracle mets. Baseball is important in this movie and there is more then one reason for it. I love time travel stories but this is so much more then that. The Premise is heart tugging. If you could speak to a dead loved one for three days and knowing you can change the future what would you say to them? Would you try to save them? What could you do in this situation ? This movie is a classic of the highest order.
