FREQUENCY is an odd little film which is much like the Tony Scott thriller DEJA VU: it can be classed as a time travel film, but not in a traditional sense. The plot nugget is about a magical ham radio set that allows an ordinary family man to communicate with his own father back in 1969, before he was killed in a fire. The plot at various times incorporates elements of the disaster genre, family drama, science fiction, and finally serial killer thriller.It's quite an episodic movie and the story doesn't always hold together all that well, but overall it's quite successful and the unusual premise works. Director Gregory Hoblit previously made the excellent FALLEN and he imbues this film with the same look, particularly during the serial killer scenes. FREQUENCY does occasionally veer into schmaltz but a fast pace sees it through in the end. Neither Jim Caviezel nor Dennis Quaid are my favourite actors but they're solid enough here and the climax is cleverly done.

I love this movie very much. When I searched the movie which is recommended to people who like fantasy genre, I found this movie. I had longed to watch it for a long time, and finally I can watch it. I understand the reason why this movie get a high evaluation from many people. This is not just fantasy movie. Its genre is changed in the movie. we recognize it's a heartfelt fantasy movie including human drama elements at the first time, but from the middle of the movie, mysterious elements appear, and after that, suspenseful elements are added to that, and finally all those genre are mixed and movie ends happily. The son connects his dead father who is living in the past time and they try to change the past. In that scene most of viewers may cannot help crying and that scene makes our hearts so moved. But mysterious and suspenseful elements increase gradually, and we become excited so much. I like the ending of it because every character become happy. Some people might say there is no reality, but all of things which are happened in the story make the ending together. So I think the ending of this movie is excellent.

From the Director that brought audiences Primal Fear and Fracture, comes another gem from Gregory Hoblit, Frequency. Released in 2000, and written by the great Toby Emmerich, Frequency brings the mystical to the reality with its touching story. Bridging the gap between a deceased father and his forever effected son, we see a supernatural coincidence bring together a relationship that was ended far too soon. Frequency shows the depth that special bond of love between a father and son.The aurora Borealis, an old HAM radio, and love come together to allow a father and son in New York to communicate with each other; sounds refreshingly old fashioned and lovely until you add the fact that the father died years before. A family man and devout New York City firefighter, Frank Sullivan (Dennis Quaid) died in the line of duty when his son was a young boy. Our story takes place in the son's reality, 1999; a New York City police officer, John Sullivan (Jim Caviezel) forever reeling from the loss of the man he looked up to as a boy happens upon his father's old radio and plugs it in for a dose of nostalgia. Picking up a transmission, he communicates with the man on the other end. After putting the pieces together, John realizes that he is communicating with his father, in 1969, the night before the accident that takes his life. Desperate to have his father in his life, John convinces his dad of what is going on, and urges him to take different actions during the fire in hopes of saving his life. John's hope comes true, and his father takes different actions, only for the pair to realize that those actions create different circumstances, creating a new situation to overcome before the two can have the reunion they both want. Frequency explores the bond between father and son and shows that changing the past can produce grave circumstances.Jim Caviezel does an excellent job playing the part of a broken son who longs for the father that influenced him so much. You can see the yearning in the actor's eyes to be reunited with his dad. Dennis Quaid also plays his part well. There is a certain naivety essential for Quaid's character to pull off to make it believable; after all, you've got a guy on a hand-held radio telling you that he is from the future, and your son, when he's upstairs asleep. Quaid pulls off the endearing naiveté with ease, creating a character the audience wants to see succeed. The great chemistry between the actors, since it is largely centered on just the two men, makes Frequency an enjoyable film to visit again and again.No one event makes up the direction your life takes, and changing one event will have lasting impact on the rest of your life to come; these are the overarching themes I took away from Frequency. A great narrative to invite the audience to see the important of their pasts, and the effect of events of life on other life events, the film's message proves a positive one. It is uplifting for me to think that me and the events of my life are impactful to others and the events of their lives as well. The past is important, but no single event defines who we are, unless we let it, that is the lasting message of Frequency.

This is a lovely, well thought out film with an interesting scientific basis and great acting. The interplay between the characters, who show care for their actions and a strong sense of responsibility for the affects of these, carries the film through. All the plot twists and alterations flow together making for an intriguing story which requires some thought and ideally a second viewing. I particularly liked the scenes at the two wakes where we see an adult and child John Sullivan react to the events as the alternate time streams are created. The acting is excellent throughout and it was truly touching to see the two male leads connecting as they recognised their importance to and need of each other. The ending may seem a little overblown but it is a gentle, sweet reminder of the specialness of a loving family.
