It's an appealingly out-there premise that's employed to perpetually captivating effect by filmmaker Gregory Hoblit...September 24, 2010
Gregory Hoblit's best film generates Spielbergian fascination with temporal drama of twisting timelines, infused with personal conflict and situational tension. It blends "Back to the Future's" rush with "Backdraft's" firefighting and a dash of "Zodiac."July 21, 2005
Why gripe about a few minor inconsistencies? Just relax and enjoy the show.May 26, 2006
Like a kid who builds and details a lovely sand castle on the beach and then stomps all over it, the movie is completely destroyed in the last 15 minutes.June 18, 2002

Movies sometimes end up looking like a head-on collision between opposing impulses. Frequency is that kind of movie.December 31, 2003

Scary, tense, grisly mystery-thriller.September 30, 2005
Good action, lots of suspense, Dennis Quaid, and an intriguing Time Travel concept. What more could you ask?June 06, 2007
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.February 13, 2008
If you see the movie, ask yourself what would be the most upbeat ending possible; you'll see it all and more.
