In Relation To Frequency

Playing with an old ham radio one night, Queens cop John Sullivan suddenly makes contact with his father Frank (Dennis Quaid) - a firefighter who was killed thirty years ago in the line of duty. John is able to warn his father about the fire and ends up saving his life. But changing the past is not an easy way to avoid responsibility or employ twenty/twenty hindsight to fix things that went wrong. John soon discovers that a serial killer known as the Nightingale, who disappeared after killing four women in the late '60s, didn't kill just four women after all - he killed eleven. John and his father must race against time and thwart the Nightingale before he can kill the seven women who weren't supposed to die.

Pros: I absolutely love this movie! The time traveling idea was really cool and actually worked pretty well. I also love the themes - 1) Even changing the past (something everyone would like to do once in a while!) doesn't erase responsibility for one's actions and 2) Family, particularly fathers, are very important in the lives of their children. On top of all that, I thought the writing and acting were excellent. Oh, and Jim Caviezel is really handsome.

Cons: Not everything matched up perfectly, but none of the inconsistencies were glaringly obvious.

My Rating: MT (language, violence)
