Ever since I saw this film in theaters almost 25 years ago, <I>Frequency</i> is still one of my favorite films of all time.
With an incredible cast that includes Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel, as well as Elizabeth Mitchell and Andre Braugher, <I>Frequency</i> takes us on an adventure that's bends time, unravels secrets due to changes in events, and offers nonstop excitement from beginning to end.
The film features standout performances from Quaid and Caviezel (before he publicly turned into a political and religious nut, but, seriously, do not think about that before watching this) and an incredible story about family, love, and what-ifs.
<B>Final thoughts:</b>
Don't miss this fantastic sci-fi, time-alerting epic.
