About

You’ll likely enjoy Frequency if you want an intriguing father-daughter mystery with a ham-radio twist and steady suspense; Not for you if slow pacing and hard-to-follow time changes frustrate you, especially if you prefer Life on Mars or Continuum instead.

Pros: engaging time-jump premise; strong lead performances; entertaining mystery | Cons: dragged-out plot; time-logic frustrations; not enough plot momentum
