Editorial Reviews

With a nod to movies past, Frequency synthesizes style and fright to create a thriller for the ages. A freak occurrence in the aurora borealis rewrites the future for John Sullivan (James Caviezel), a policeman still recovering from the death of his father (Dennis Quaid), a heroic fireman, 30 year earlier. Using his father's old ham radio one night, John connects with a strangely familiar man -- eerily, but unmistakably, his father. This fantastic connection inadvertently alters past, present, and future for both of them, as father and son must reunite to stop a serial killer who has targeted John's mother. Quaid brings his usual charm to the fatherly role, and Caviezel, best remembered for his breakout role in The Thin Red Line, makes a great, moody foil. Screenwriter Toby Emmerich's script is tight and multilayered, allowing director Gregory Hoblit to successfully revisit the psychological terror he mastered in Fallen and Primal Fear. With great ease, Hoblit juggles an amalgam of genres -- thriller, science fiction, and family drama -- recalling the uncanny fantasy of The Twilight Zone and Field of Dreams as much as the suspense of Backdraft and The Fugitive.

A weak premise, but still a good filmby Anonymous

October 14, 2005: This is a very emotional film that deals with my favorite theory about filmmaking, “What if…?” What if an atmospheric phenomenon pushes the Aurora Borealis down from Alaska right over NYC in 1969 and thirty years later the same phenomenon occurs again? What would happen? Well in this case an NYC Firefighter Frank Sullivan (Dennis Quaid) is able to communicate with his son John Sullivan (Jim Caviezel) in 1999, while he is watching the “Amazing Mets” play in the 1969 World Series by way of a HAM radio set. John thinks it is a joke as his father has been dead for thirty years and Frank thinks the guy is a nutcase and breaks off contact with him. When the strange occurrence stirs memories within John, he tries to get his Dad back to tell him how to avoid the accident that kills him. Frank listens and pays heed and does avoid the accident, but there are dire consequences for their toying with time. Those consequences also wreak havoc on John’s life in the future as he is an NYC Homicide Detective investigating a number of murders dubbed “The Nightingale Murders” and are linked to a case that began when his Dad was still alive. This is one of those rare films that actually works better on a weak premise. Obviously no one thinks something like this could be possible, but the idea of a second chance I think appeals to everyone. It is quite a tearjerker too, especially the happy-sappy ending.
