Summary: A great father-son movie for the ages
Review: Once you watch this movie you will find yourself hitting the rewind button and wanting to watch it all over again. Two of the best acting performances in a movie belong to Dennis Quaid and James Caviezel. For those of you gentlemen out there with a special father/son relationship, this is the movie for you.

Ladies you'll swoon for the men in this and the action will definitely appeal to all the guys out there! Don't miss this phenomenal movie!

Summary: One of the two best movies of 2000. Don't miss it!
Review: The two best movies of 2000 were, coincidentally, the ones that received the most mixed reviews by their audience. Besides wonderfully acted and directed screenplays, "Unbreakable" and "Frequency" don't have too much in common, but they both demand that the audience pay attention and follow the story. I think that is why you see a few negative reviews on this site and others, and I am incredibly disheartened by what they have to say. "We all know that time travel is not possible...."- one review says. Well actually it IS theoretically possible, but that is not the point. More than that, though, if you are that much of a skeptic, why are you seeing a movie about a man who is able to communicate with his father, who has been dead for 30 years? You know going in that this is a Science Fiction/Fantasy movie, in the spirit of the "Twilight Zone". Sheesh. As for the DVD itself, I just bought it and I have to say that I love it. New Line went all out on this one, providing commentary by the director and actors, as well as a neat little "science behind the movie" segment. It was really interesting to see how this wonderful movie was put together. I honestly believe that this is one of the best movies I have ever seen, and it is one you cannot pass by. Get it today!

Summary: Wow! Simultaneously suspenseful and touching
Review: I wasn't sure what to think of this movie on reading the synopsis, as movies which alter the realities of time as we know it are usually far-fetched and cumbersome. But this one really surprised me. Whether the premise is believeable is not even an issue here since the goals of the film are loftier. It's really about family, specifically the relationship that could have been between a father and son, and heavier theme of the consequences of our actions, even down to whether we take one hallway or another. It does make you think. As for the entertainment value, the scene near the end of the movie where good and bad guys meet is very suspenseful, though it does stretch the imagination a bit (ooh, the hand!). The characters, specifically Dad as played by an always entertaining Dennis Quaid, are endearing and you want to see this family together. In the end, the film does not disappoint. James Caviezel does justice to the adult son who drinks too much and could have used a bit of wisdom he never got from his Dad. Other than a few loose ends that led to dangling questions after the movie, it was well done and highly recommended.

Summary: An excellent sci/fi and family movie
Review: This film is one of the best I've seen. The sequence of events keeps you hopping (don't blink...you might miss something!). The fire fighting scenes are excellent. Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezal give great performances. The story...what can you say about the story...awsome. As one reviewer puts it: Father and Son talk across time and alter their lives...cool.

Summary: Best Film of 2000
Review: What is it that is so amazing about this little sleeper hit? It's that it is true to itself at all time. It doesn't get confusing, doesn't break the rules it makes, doesn't loose any emotion at any time. It's entertaining, it is moving, it is the best film of the year. The writing is amazing. The story is original. But it is the casting that makes this sci-fi drama so good.

Summary: Are we sure this wasn't made by Disney
Review: Excellent idea, bad execution. We all know that time travel in this day and age is not possible so Frequency takes an uncommon event to try and explain how it has suddenly became possible. But what was needed is an explanation as to why different time periods could essentially be happening at the same time (for a better and more entertaining look at this concept, read Michael Crighton's Timeline), and there is a good explanation that could be covered in a few minutes. While the movie was based on a good idea, and it had some exciting moments, the script left something to be desired. The picture perfect ending is what completely ruined the movie for me (just like the ending to the Waterboy). Michael Eisner had to be involved. There were some good scenes, especially when Quaid finds a way to escape the fire and when James Caviesel escapes from the Police Interrogation room, but other than that the movie goes on with unexplained events and unestablished relationships between characters (what ever happened to his live-in girlfiend?). I watched it and had an idea that it might be good, instead, I was treated to a Disney ending, which definitely was the wrong choice for an original movie.

Summary: Worth watching over & over
Review: A great movie with multiple plots. I watched this movie twice in one day the first day I owned it! Great acting by Dennis Quaid. Great story line, and a good music soundtrack too. I only buy videos & DVD's of those movies that I think will stand the test of time, and I'll watch again and again. This is one of them.

Summary: A heart-warming, tear jerker
Review: Yes, I cried at this movie....it really shows the depth of family, of regret, of "what-if"'s, of the bond between parent and child. It resonates into what is most people's feelings of nostalgia about family and wishing "if only" they had more time with their loved ones...if only they were "still here", how "things would be so different", of thinking, "what if it IS possible?..." It is a fabulous movie.

Summary: Unsatisfactory
Review: I waited almost two months to rent this video. Unfortunately., I was disappointed. The movie while poignant, was spasmodic and disjointed. I had to try too hard to piece together the events while they were occurring. James Caviezel's performance was compelling. Dennis Quaid's acting was fair.
