Product: Frequency (2000)
Rating: 5.0
A movie experience with everything...
"Frequency" is an excellent drama filled with great acting, suspense, true emotion, and a tremendous amount of accuracy. I am a huge fan of the "Back to the Future" trilogy, but I am well aware of how difficult it is to keep the audience believing and also attentive to detail (important in such suspense classics as "The Sixth Sense"). Due to a commitment to consistency by the director Greg Hoblit (except for one blunder explained in the commentary) and phenomenal acting by both Dennis Quaid and James Caviezel, it is easy to stay attached to the plot and feel sympathy for the Sullivan family. In response to questions in reviews about how Frank beats cancer, you can see him throw away the last pack of cigarettes his wife offers him towards the end. As far as the DVD goes, the audio commentary is informative and helpful to make realizations you may have missed while watching this underrated thriller. The few deleted scenes included are intriguing as well, especially when John carries out a conversation over the ham radio with his childhood friend that would have been a welcome bit of comic relief had it been included. New Line continues to deliver great movies and nice packages on it's Platinum Series DVDs. Don't miss out on this quality movie.
