100One of the most skillful, mesmerizing, tense and satisfying time-warp thrillers ever made.
-
100Smart, suspenseful, satisfyingly unpredictable.
-
88Likely to appeal to the fans of "The Sixth Sense," "Ghost" and other movies where the characters find a loophole in reality. What it also has in common with those two movies is warmth and emotion.
-
83The star, though, is the script, a rare enough occurrence in Hollywood that it merits special note.
-
83A suspenseful, fascinating movie that milks the premise for all it's worth.
-
80Braugher does much to hold this show together, because without him, the reality gets muddled. He's a terrific balancing agent for both Caviezel and Quaid; kudos to casting.
-
80A touching thriller, a movie that's particularly hard to resist if there are things you never said to your own dad because you didn't have the chance, the inclination or the right ham radio.
-
80It's like a chick flick for men--and the women who love them, sniff-sniff.
-
80Quaid's buoyant earnestness complements the stunning, low-key performance by Caviezel, whose close-ups give new meaning to the idea that still waters run deep.
-
75Corny and far-fetched it may be, but Frequency works - except for some stretches when it doesn't.
-
75Emmerich's screenplay gains emotional punch from its sincere concern for family values, but science-fiction fans may be disappointed by the limited exploration of its fascinating time-travel premise.
-
75A very complicated movie. It is also pretty wonderful.
-
75Had me watching through misty eyes, at least for the first half.
-
75A fairly wonderful movie about fathers and sons and the mystery of time.
-
75Enough originality and emotional weight to keep you engrossed even when it lapses into some pretty standard moves at the end.
-
75An enjoyably complex sci-fi suspense thriller.
-
75Isn't quite smart enough to untangle one large, insoluble problem at the end.
-
75May be the first time travel fantasy to move grown fellows with 401(k) accounts to tears.
-
75Succeeds at getting the viewer to buy into its premise, thanks to solid, often moving characterizations and the gripping way the plot is spun.
-
70The time shifting raises questions the movie never answers, but it's hard not to enjoy the ride.
-
70Confirming the moral of a thousand "Twilight Zone" episodes: Don't play with time.
-
70Worth seeing.
-
70What makes Frequency work despite is shamelessness is the surreal aura that imbues almost every scene with a sense of heightened feeling.
-
There's a novel, engaging story trying to transmit through the storm of special effects and convoluted plot twists that mar the movie.
-
63This surprisingly sentimental science-fiction thriller boasts enough fresh twists to satisfy time-travel junkies.
-
60An oddly schizophrenic fantasy thriller that ultimately succumbs to a fatal case of sentimentality.
-
50What do you get when you cross a serial-killer movie with a sappy father/son drama and give it a time-travel twist?
-
50Due largely to the tremendous innate warmth and conviction of leads Quaid and Caviezel ("The Thin Red Line"), you may find yourself cutting a surprising amount of slack for this patently ridiculous tale.
-
50If the trailer for this one left you feeling you'd pretty much got it, plot point by plot point, so really why bother.
-
50Disappointingly dumb.
-
40After keeping its balance over much treacherous terrain, greedily overreaches and stumbles badly at the close.
-
20As an audience member, you end up feeling like a sucker for even having tolerated that sickly sweet notion about a father, a son, and their silly radio.
