Frequency Reviews

Scary, tense, grisly mystery-thriller.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 24, 2010

Quaid'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.

| Jun 6, 2007

This ambitious but frustrating timeshift thriller never quite manages to jam together two distinct stories.

| Jan 26, 2006

Why gripe about a few minor inconsistencies? Just relax and enjoy the show.

Full Review | Jul 21, 2005

Features plenty of soft-focus, picture-perfect, father-and-son baseball scenes, an enormous amount of plot, and not quite enough of anything else.

| Dec 31, 2003

It's difficult not to notice certain dramatic flaws in Frequency's speculative narrative logic.

| Dec 2, 2002

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

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 18, 2002

Touches upon the profound human longing to escape the constraints of time, to see the wrongs and mistakes of the past somehow set right, redeemed.

| Original Score: A | May 8, 2002

Movies sometimes end up looking like a head-on collision between opposing impulses. Frequency is that kind of movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 19, 2002

For the most part, Frequency works, and works well.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 17, 2001

My head says Frequency has a 31/2-star first half and 21/2-star second half, averaging out to three stars. But my heart says: Don't miss this one.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Frequency submits itself for our approval as a solid thriller, if not necessarily a timeless one.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Corny and far-fetched it may be, but Frequency works -- except for some stretches when it doesn't.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

What makes Frequency work despite is shamelessness is the surreal aura that imbues almost every scene with a sense of heightened feeling.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Like The Sixth Sense, Frequency does a good job of compelling us to suspend disbelief and cynicism -- mostly by investing us in the characters.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

A thriller that actually thrills.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

A fantasy about fate and family, it's a treat for time-warp-movie fans who've been jonesing for another fix.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

There is enough that's off-center and just downright different in the film to keep one's antenna up.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Well-navigated and ultimately moving.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Good casting only takes us so far, and Frequency -- fun as it remains -- really doesn't have the chops to go the rest of the distance.
