Frequency

My Score

10/10

Frequency was an awesome movie. Dennis Quaid and Jim Cavieziel were great. Basically it’s about this guy, John (Jim Cavieziel) who finds his father’s old radio and hooks it up and finds out he can communicate with his father through it. He lives in 1999, his father is in 1969.

MoViE ZoNe Review

The movie starts taking place in 1969, it show’s Frank (Dennis Quaid) rescuing some guy, Frank is a firefighter. It then goes on to show Frank’s family, etc. Then it cuts to 1999 where John’s (Jim Cavieziel) girlfriend is leaving. John is a cop. John is also Frank’s son. John’s friend Gordo comes over and Gordo’s kid finds Frank’s old radio in the closet, they hook it up but Gordo and his son leave. John talks to someone on the radio and the next day talks to them again, finding out that it’s his father Frank 30 years ago. John tells Frank how he’s supposed to die the next day, so Frank avoids his death and lives. He still dies 20 years later because of lung cancer, he smokes a lot. Because of Frank not dieing, the past changes, now John’s mother, Frank’s wife, Jules (Elizabeth Mitchell) gets murdered by a serial killer. The rest of the movie is John communicating with Frank over the radio, trying to help him stop the murder. Frank does end up stopping the guy with John’s help and quits smoking, So it’s now 1999 and Jules, Frank, everyone’s alive and well. John is back with his girlfriend and have a son of their own.

All and all, it was an awesome movie. Awesome job by Jim Cavieziel and Dennis Quaid. For most of the second half of the movie your on the edge of your seat. They do a good job of making it look like it everything can turn out bad, but everything ends up coming together. They do good with the changing of things in the future when something happens in the past. The ending was awesome too, the one I was hoping for. I highly suggest this movie.
