Steven Rea

Smart, suspenseful, satisfyingly unpredictable.

Shawn Levy

The star, though, is the script, a rare enough occurrence in Hollywood that it merits special note.

Rita Kempley

It's like a chick flick for men--and the women who love them, sniff-sniff. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

A fairly wonderful movie about fathers and sons and the mystery of time. Read full review

Peter Travers

The time shifting raises questions the movie never answers, but it's hard not to enjoy the ride.

Andy Seiler

This surprisingly sentimental science-fiction thriller boasts enough fresh twists to satisfy time-travel junkies.

Mr. Showbiz F. X. Feeney

As 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.

He had to remove his helmet as a story element. If not for that, he wouldn't have been injured.… Expand

Director Gregory Hoblit brings us "Frequency", an intriguing science-fiction tale that was as thrilling and shocking as it was heartfelt and emotional. The movie is about John Sullivan (Caviezel) a Cop who has never recovered from the death of his father, Frank (Quaid). However, after aDirector Gregory Hoblit brings us "Frequency", an intriguing science-fiction tale that was as thrilling and shocking as it was heartfelt and emotional. The movie is about John Sullivan (Caviezel) a Cop who has never recovered from the death of his father, Frank (Quaid). However, after a series of miraculous cosmic events, John is given a chance to communicate with his father in the past. Now, when I initially examined this film for what it was - a movie with a respectable premise, but directed by a guy I had never heard of, and starring a group of actors who aren't really well-known - I was rather apprehensive about watching it. Though, after actually watching "Frequency" I can say that my expectations were pretty much demolished. What threw me for a loop was the direction that this movie took. All I expected "Frequency" to be was a long, drawn out reunion between a father and his grief-stricken son (which sounded to good to me. . .but didn't really sound spectacular). But, about a third of the way in, "Frequency" turned into a very intense crime thriller. That being said, the film excels at interweaving thrills and poignancy without making the transitions feel jarring. The acting was very well executed I'd say, for you learn to feel for both Frank and John Sullivan as "Frequency"'s intriguing plot thickens. The script was pretty well-written too. Overall, I'd say that "Frequency" was an entertaining sci-fi flick that offered a variety of gratifying elements within it.… Expand

Has a good heart and decent acting but the film is virtually a series of plot-holes.
