Product: Frequency (2000)
Rating: 5.0
One of those movies you'll watch over...and over...
The year 2000 wasn't very good in the movie department. Remember the Titans and Frequency were the only good films I've seen that came out that year. Frequency just so happens to be the most underrated year of 2000. Still, both are excellent movies that one (who is old enough to stand a few scenes of violent/gorey content) should consider viewing.Frequency is the story of John's (James Caviezel) realization that he can talk to his presently dead father through his old radio. Through this new discovery, John saves his father's, Frank's (Dennis Quaid, who also gave a great performance in the wonderful movie Dragonheart), life, which triggers a series of serial murders. One of the new victims include Frank's wife, and John's mother. While trying to save the other victims, the two have to find out who the serial killer is, and stop him.This movie is just a classic. It makes you laugh, makes you cry (I can't remember if I did, but just in case I did, I'll mention it anyway), and makes you remember how important the family is. I highly recommend this film. Oh, yeah, one more thing-I would recommend watching this movie twice or watching it with someone who has watched it before and can explain what's going on before passing judgement. Luckily, I watched this movie for the first time on home video and had my mom with me to explain things to me (she had already seen it in movie theaters). Also, if after watching Dennis Quaid's (as well as everyone else's) great performance, and you want to see another excellent movie he's been in, I would highly recommend Dragonheart, which is also featured on this website.
