Title: Great Thriller/Drama/Time Travel Tale
Review: Combining the 'moving' nature of great dramas with the excitement and tension of great thrillers, "Frequency" is about a grown son (policeman Jim Caviezel) connecting over shortwave radio with his father (Dennis Quaid) thirty years in the past, shortly before the latter died. Communicating through time, the son manages to prevent the father's death but finds history changed, with the mother of the family now the one who died early and threats emerging to more members of the family in both time periods. Comes off completely believable with great acting and storyflow, highly effective cinematography in the firefight and chase-type scenes, and sparsely used but masterful special effects. Has one of the more riveting climaxes out there, finishing things off with a grand slam. In the spirit and mood of such greats as "Ghost" and "The Green Mile"
