The story line is just great.The plot is excellent.It really draws you in.You feel like you're experiencing what the characters are experiencing and understand what they are going through.And,unlike other movies,there is not just one problem to be resolved.The plot is complex,but not overly so,just enough to keep you on the edge of your seat for the whole movie.In fact,the climax draws you in so much,my best friend and I did not let go of each other's hands during the whole scene.
The acting is also excellent.Dennis Quaid did a wonderful job,one of his best performances yet,I thought.His New York accent was right on the mark,as well as his portrayal of his character,Frank Sullivan.James Caviezel and Elizabeth Mitchell also had outstanding performances.
The filming was superb.There are several scenes that take place in both time periods.They keep flashing back and forth between the two creating a suspenseful feeling.The climax was especially suspenseful.It is shot in both 1969 and 1999 and is done so exceptionally that it's just amazing to watch.
Finally,there is a little bit of everything in this movie,to keep everyone happy.There are some major fire stunts,a bit of romance,teary emotional father-son scenes,a few really great comedy lines,a chase,an underwater struggle,a grasping-for-the-gun fight scene,and,most of all,major suspense.You would think this would be too much for one movie.However,Frequency does it all resulting in the best movie I have ever seen.
