Reviews

SnoopyStyle It's 1969 and a serial killer is loose. Frank Sullivan (Dennis Quaid) is a risk-taking firefighter. He's happily married to Jules (Elizabeth Mitchell) with a son John. In 1999, John Sullivan (Jim Caviezel) is a hard-drinking cop and his girlfriend leaves him. His best friend is still Gordo (Noah Emmerich). They find his dad's Ham radio. When he starts it up, the strange atmospheric conditions connect the son to the father 30 years apart. John warns his father of his impending death and saves him. However it sets off changes that includes the murder of his mother along with more nurses by the serial killer Nightingale. John uses his police files to guide his father to track down the killer.It's a terrific premise. There is a change in the middle with the introduction of the serial killer story. It probably needs to get there a little sooner to change gear. The thriller is actually quite compelling despite splitting the time and the two main actors. It's able to connect the two sides very effectively. Both Quaid and Caviezel are able to keep the tension high.

info-29737 Wow everyone! where to begin.. I just watched this movie and I really enjoyed it. It is deep and really touching. If you like movies about time-travel you will also love this. I think the actors and crew did such an amazing job on this movie. You must see it! This movie reminded me of my grandfather also, who was a HAM operator in '69. Normally I am always telling myself I should write a review about Movie Y or X but this movies was SO good that I had to go right to IMDb and write an honest review.I also have a background with HAM Radio so I think that this is part of the reason I like this movie so much. It makes me think about this in reality also. With Auroras in real-life it is possible to cover super-long distances. It's nice that this movie didn't fell like your typical scifi movie and felt natural. Of course it's a movie but this one felt quite possible which made it seem very real and touching.I will stop writing now, just watch it and don't forget to share your rating afterwords.

Johan Dondokambey The story really nicely combines two distanced elements of contemporary movie. It has a very focused family element, especially in the form of fatherhood. The time travel element is also really nice. It has no real time travel since the the difference is only crossed by the radio chat between the characters. The movie treats the time travel element by keeping its mystery at the beginning but then take the focus away from the time travel mystery after the first history change with Frank not dying. Since then it's all about the fatherhood. The acting overall is quite good. Dennis Quaid played the father quite well that he expresses the right emotions on his scenes. Jim Caviezel played also quite well in expressing all those memory change.

Kari Duhaney This is a good example of a "time travel" science fiction movie, in a genre where there are many examples and most of them break at least one concrete law of time travel that leaves anyone with even a little common sense and intelligence scratching their heads and wondering "how does that work?"Of course you still have to suspend your disbelief but as far as this sub-genre goes Frequency was a surprisingly good, and I would even go so far as to say it is a great example, of these time travel themed movies.The acting is great. The star is recognizable of course and this is one of his best roles to date, but the cast around him is also very good in their roles.Highly recommended if you like science fiction.
