A sci-fi with an emotional overlay
The interesting, if somewhat farfetched premise of this movie is that a young man in 1999 is able to communicate via a ham radio with his father who is living in 1969. The father, who was a fireman, died during a warehouse fire. With his foreknowledge, the son is able to direct his father away from the danger of the fire. The father's survival then sets off a series of events which includes interaction with a serial killer. This strange plot twist is made palatable by the believable acting job of Dennis Quaid and James Caviezel and by the touching interaction between two men whose relationship was ended by the father's untimely death. It makes for interesting viewing.
