Rating: 4.0
"Frequency--The signal comes through loud & clear!
I had the opportunity to see this movie during its theatrical run this spring. I work for a movie theatre and to be honest, if I saw this trailer one more time, I was gonna barf. But, undaunted, I watched the movie anyway. It was really quite good. The story was fresh & original. Granted, it was a little far-fetched, but it was an intriguing drama. Dennis Quaid is a firefighter in the 60's with a wife & young son. During a failed rescue attempt, he perishes in a fire, and his son grows up without his dad. Flash-forward to 2000, and the son is a police officer struggling in his relationships. He uncovers his dad's old HAM radio, and through freak cosmic circumstances, he is able to communicate with his dad in the 60's prior to his death. Through their interference, they are able to alter the past, which then alters the future. It's a race against time in order to set things right in both eras. I don't wanna give any spoilers away, so I just say watch this film. Very original, and one of the best movies I saw this year. Keep a phone close by, because afterwards, you may just need to talk to dad.
