A weak, tired, cliché-ridden thriller.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 5, 2019

A dazzling performance by Julianne Moore, backed by Samuel L. Jackson. A strong supporting performance by Edie Falco. The story is overwrought and uneven, but those performances had me interested from beginning to end.

| Original Score: B | Nov 7, 2010

Ridiculous

| Aug 30, 2009

"Freedomland" is an infuriating movie made worse by incomprehensible monologues from its deranged protagonist.

| Original Score: D+ | Apr 20, 2009

As an excuse to examine urban malaise at novel length, this premise works; as a film drama, it feels both overlong and sketchy.

| Original Score: C- | Feb 13, 2008

Clunky, disjointed and with a couple of subplots that linger and then vanish.

| Original Score: 55/100 | Apr 19, 2007

A compelling, beautifully written and impossible-to-put-down book has been turned into a mediocre film that seems self-important and listless.

| Mar 1, 2007

An intensely engrossing melodrama, despite its ultimately squandering an opportunity to deliver an emotional payoff.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 19, 2007

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2006

As I sat there watching the final slow motion image of a young man framed against the flames of a burning refrigerator box I couldn't help but think, "boy, I should have gone and seen Eight Below instead."

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 13, 2006

Not much of this is new territory, but it can be gripping at times.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 11, 2006

Filme triste de temática complexa, surpreende por ter sido dirigido por um cineasta normalmente incompetente e traz performances brilhantes de Jackson e Falco (já Moore, apenas correta, carrega na caracterização).

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 7, 2006

This mixed-up, self-important thriller is adapted by Richard Price from his own novel and wastes a talented cast.

| Jun 24, 2006

Freedomland is a drama that plays like an episode of a 온라인카지노추천 cop show stretched beyond its limits.

| May 25, 2006

Moviemakers who exploit the suffering and death of children to ratchet up the dramatic stakes belong in the innermost circle of hell, but Freedomland -- clumsy and overwrought as it is -- earns the right to its harrowing trajectory.

| May 12, 2006

Richard Price's dual plot, of the investigation and the escalating racial tensions that surround it, befuddles director Joe Roth from the very start.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 12, 2006

Freedomland might just play to the M온라인카지노추천 generation, but even they'll likely have trouble swallowing this particularly clumsy pill.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | May 6, 2006

Flabby, dull and overlong, it's a B-grade movie with A-list talent and an inflated idea of its own importance. Think Tsotsi crossed with Clockers with the imagination of neither.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 6, 2006

Promises much but doesn't connect in the same way as another recent film with racial themes, Crash.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 5, 2006

Freedomland has an extremely strong opening sequence but its intriguing premise is quickly squandered in favour of overwritten speeches and a series of boring, nonsensical scenes that seem to go nowhere.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 27, 2006
