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.

SmgBag1 Frequency is one of those movies you watch, and when it ends, you wonder what you actually saw. But not because of a bad story. In fact, quite the opposite. With constantly changing and sometimes conflicting timelines, "Frequency" is a thriller you'll want to watch again and again. For it both asks and answers the timeless question: Is it possible to change a past event? Yes, but with consequences. The action starts in 1969, where the Sullivan family-father Frank, mother Julia and son John--exists at the edge of a dangerous life. Frank is a career firefighter, soon to die in a warehouse blaze. After a brief view of the sun with multiple sunspots, time flashes forward thirty years to the same neighborhood. Up in the sky is a quick flash of green light known in the northern hemisphere as the aurora borealis. John Sullivan is now in his mid-thirties. And his girlfriend Samantha is dumping him for being emotionally shut down. Some time later, his friend from childhood Gordo Hersh and his son Gordy, Jr, discover an old ham radio in John's hall closet. When John starts using it, he hears a voice broadcasting over the airwaves. He comes to realize the voice as belonging to his father Frank Sullivan, talking on the same physical ham radio in his time that John is talking in his own. John finds a way to warn his father of the "Buxton" fire, and if Frank just went a different way, he could have saved himself. Which is exactly what Frank does. But with Frank alive, that alters his own timeline. His wife Julia is a hospital nurse who prevents a medical error that would have killed her patient known as the Nightingale killer. He was responsible for killing nurses, and in this new altered timeline, that list now includes Julia, John's mother. So now Frank in his time and John in his must communicate to fix the consequence of changing the past. Before John told his father how to save himself, John was investigating the Nightingale murders, then including three. Now it jumps to ten, and as Frank crosses paths with the killer in his time, trying to stop the murders both he and John know are coming, more complications arise. Frequency most likely named due to how father and son managed to connect across thirty years amid a solar sunspot storm and the resultant northern lights. It involves a series of conundrums that must be overcome for both to survive. As you ride the roller-coaster of action to the climax, you marvel at how well this movie is made. And wish there were more like it.

spz824690 There are some points I do not accept in this film, but I like this. One day, John, who lost his father years ago, contacts his father all of a sudden. His father, Frank is a firefighter. They have conversation beyond time and space. So John decides to save his father from the accident that he dies of. For John's advice, Frank is able to survive fire in the building. It is interesting that changes Frank makes affects the present. For instance, after Frank survived a fire, the newspaper article John has changes. And at the John's study, when Frank puts out his cigarette on his desk, a tiny ruins of a fire appears on the desk John is sitting. I was glad to see his parents are alive and they can live peacefully. But owing to change of the past, a colleague of his mother is killed instead of her. I was sorry for the woman. If John did not change the past, she would not be killed... However, John's desire to save his parents moves me to tears. I want to watch it again.

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.
