“Final Frequency” (**1/2 out of four) was a brisk suspense melodrama about a phD student (Kirby Bliss Blanton) who realizes it’s apocalypse now after noticing some unusual tremors in Los Angeles and starts snooping around and realizes it’s tied to rogue scientists (Richard Burgi, Lou Ferrigno, Jr., and others) who want to weaponize Tesla’s secrets and are stil searching for his lost notebook but not if she can find it first and save the world. Story is too conventional and too simple-minded to really score but it never stops moving and packs in enough action and suspense to make it a surprising sleeper. Blaton’s strong performance in the lead is a definite plus.
