excellent
Neither John or his father Frank can believe it at first when they are communicating over ham radio. It is 1999, and Frank died fighting a fire in 1969.But we believe it. The charm of Frequency is that the relationship between the two (Frank is Dennis Quaid and John Jim Cazaviel) is so strong, the time travel seems almost plausible. As soon as they establish that they are indeed in touch--they use plays of the Mets '69 World Series to verify- both take advantage: first to save the father from the fire, and his Camel Cigarettes, to catch a killer.I won't reveal much more plot, but the 1969 scenes have amazingly real detail, and the father son friendship is genuinely touching to watch.This is an example of how science fiction should be done.
