If "Frequency" works at all, and it does at times, it is because it is grounded, ironically, by its wonderfully unrealistic premise.
After that, the script piles on one borderline plot contrivance after another as Frank and John Sullivan (played extremely earnestly by Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel) muck with the space-time continuum for the benefit of their nuclear family.

Other movies have explored the theory that time travel changes history, and Frequency is well aware of this convention.
Frequency is good enough to make me see it again on the big screen and purchase the video or DVD.
Without spoiling the movie

However, Frequency still engrosses and entertains, and is surprisingly rich with interesting ideas and visual flair.
However, Frequency is far less sinister than these other ventures into filmic phantasmagoria, with its blend of male-bonding weepery, time-travel, sci-fi and serial-killer thriller making for a peculiar but effective alchemy.

| Apr 30, 2000Laramie Movie Scope
If the screenwriter, Toby Emmerich (his first), had stuck to that theme, he would have been better off, instead, there's a whole convoluted sub-plot involving a serial killer and lots of violent deaths.
The only way you can half-way believe a cockeyed story like this one is if the actors sell it, and they sure do.
