Review of Frequency (2000) by Lorenzo V — 06 Nov 2009
"What would you do if you could change the past?".
An accidental cross-time radio link connects father and son across 30 years. The son tries to save his father's life, but then must fix the consequences.
REVIEW.
Since the 21st century began, there have been several movies with several interconnected stories ("Traffic", "Syriana", "Babel"). In that sense, maybe Gregory Hoblit's "Frequency" was a sign of things to come. Granted, it focuses on one story, but uses two other topics (aurora Borealis and baseball) to move the plot along.
Of course, it's probably not too important that aurora Borealis and baseball play the roles that they play. The movie brings up the paradox of time travel, all the while understanding that this is a fictional story. It's not a great movie, but you gotta admire how they lay everything out, with the changes in the past and present. Worth seeing. Starring Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel.
