Brilliant thriller - one of Quaid's best
I've been a fan of Dennis Quaid through some good movies and some not-so-good movies, but here is a role just perfect for him, as a 1969 NY fire fighter. Jim Caviezel is great as his cynical, 36-year old son in the parallel 1999 storyline. The time bridge is well done [willing suspension of disbelief required, but easy here] and the palpable link between father and son -- the son's loss at his father's early death -- is heartbreaking but ultimately life-affirming. Buy it, rent it, borrow it -- but see it. You'll be on the edge of your seat, but the payoff at the end is worth it.
