	Freedomland (2006) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The movie is unfortunately being advertised as a thriller and audiences expecting action and things blowing up will be disappointed.
		"Freedomland" is one of those movies that Hollywood doesn't get or know what to do with but it is a very worthwhile movie to see.

	Review: Freedomland
		Underneath the trappings of a police procedural, Freedomland opens a gateway to the simmering cauldron of racial/social inequality that exists across the urban landscape of this country, where people are treated differently because of the color of their skin or their lack of spending clout.
		Freedomland is the second of three novels written by Price to be set in Dempsey (the others are Clockers, which Spike Lee turned into a movie, and Samaritan, which has not yet been adapted).
		Freedomland provides a stark reminder of this with a fiction that is disturbingly close to fact.

		For those who think Freedomland's main street was a poor imitation don't know that Freedomland's building were full scale and Disneyland's 3/4 scale.
		Freedomland from 1960 through 64 the five seasons of the park had more than many parks have now or ever did have.
		Freedomland was intended as the East coast's answer to Disneyland, but it lacked the pizazz of the Magic Kingdom, and closed after just a few years.

	Freedomland - Scathing Reviews for Bitchy People
		But he begins Freedomland seeming assured and on top of the material: The early scenes set off plenty of sparks — particularly Jackson and Moore’s first meeting, which is feverishly intense, with the camera aggressively lunging at the actors, flashing back and forth between them in a series of jump-cuts over a thunderous soundtrack.
		But when she finally sputters out that her son was asleep in the back of the stolen car, his concern and frustration combine to drive him into a frenzy equal to hers.
		Freedomland has a solid beginning and some great stuff at the end — Moore’s climactic scene is staggeringly emotional — but it gets sloppy in the middle, and there’s a lot of middle.

	IGN: Freedomland Review
		Freedomland opens with a traumatized woman, Brenda Martin (Julianne Moore), arriving at a hospital in a state of muted shock.
		Freedomland is presented on a single-sided disc in both 2.40 anamorphic widescreen and 1.33 full screen.
		Freedomland is one part mystery, two parts police procedural and one part tightly knit neighborhood ensemble, but analogous in its adult tonalities to movies like Mystic River, Primal Fear and Unfaithful.

	wfrv.com - 'Freedomland' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		But "Freedomland" is an exercise in bleakness and tedium occasionally broken up by shrill clashes between the two leads and poorly staged, stereotypical confrontations between white cops and fl citizens.
		From that feeble romance and "Freedomland," along with Roth's earlier stabs at directing ("Coupe de Ville," "Streets of Gold," "Revenge of the Nerds II"), it's clear Roth's talents are best put to use behind a desk rather than behind a camera.
		"Freedomland" flits clumsily between these interludes, which feel as though they've been lifted from a two-character stage play, and the chaos in the streets.

		Freedomland is sloppy; plot points are introduced, then left dangling; characters who are involved throughout most of the feature simply disappear...

	BBC - Movies - review - Freedomland
		It was Spike Lee who filmed the latter Price book, and Freedomland desperately needs a helmer of his calibre to inject life into its complex, labyrinthine narrative.
		But his investigations are hindered by inconsistencies in Moore's story and her policeman brother (Ron Eldard), a racist hothead happy to pin the crime on an innocent party.
		Freedomland is released in UK cinemas on Friday 28th April 2006.

	CNN - Review: 'Freedomland' - August 6, 1998
		But "Freedomland" is a knockout, and not just because of the diminished expectations for the genre.
		This time, though he doesn't explicitly refer to it, his tale is haunted by a real-life ghost -- Susan Smith, the South Carolina woman convicted in 1995 of murdering her two sons.
		The hard truth in "Freedomland" is that one white child's disappearance matters more than all the fl-on-fl crime that regularly plagues Armstrong.

		Freedomland is the worst kind of bad movie: one that thinks it's important.
		Freedomland manages a seemingly impossible feat: It's both turgid AND overwrought, eliciting the shriek that fades into a yawn without anyone ever noticing.
		Freedomland delves into more issues than any one film ought to perhaps but each is worth exploring and each is given no simple answers.

		In "Freedomland," when a white woman named Brenda Martin (Julianne Moore) reports she's been carjacked by a fl man, she initially fails to mention her 4-year-old son was sleeping in the back seat.
		That canvass leads to Freedomland, an abandoned state children's home now dilapidated, graffiti-ridden and haunted with ghosts of neglect and suffering past.
		Freedomland was anything but, and the same holds true for the Jersey neighborhoods where the mystery plays out.

	Freedomland \| movies : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The complication in Freedomland arises out of Brenda's hysteria, which is so extreme that we doubt her story even before we've bought into it, and from the movie's dogged, booby-trapped demonstration of the sins of racism.
		Julianne Moore, pale and dissolute, with pink-rimmed eyes and stringy hair that falls into her face, does a scrupulous job of playing a forlorn, broken-down mother, a woman who claims so feverishly not to be a drug addict that we sit back and wait for the story of how she bottomed out on drugs.
		Freedomland, with its showy compassion for ''the children,'' its meticulous slides from despair to hope and back again, is a movie that appears to have been made in the shadow of Crash.

	'Freedomland' - Zap2it
		In green-lighting a movie of "Freedomland," Richard Price's racially fraught police procedural about a missing child, a distraught mother and the veteran detective trying to piece together the truth, the head of Revolution Studios made one catastrophic mistake: He let Joe Roth direct it.
		This is not entirely surprising, since Joe Roth is the head of Revolution Studios, as well as the occasional director of such lightweight entertainments as "Coupe de Ville," "America's Sweethearts" and "Christmas with the Kranks." On the evidence of "Freedomland," he should never be trusted with anything more substantial, ever again.
		It doesn't work as a thriller, or a police procedural, or a drama, or even as a commentary on the way America's fl population is almost reflexively cast as predators, or worse, by whites.

	Freedomland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		17, 2006 12:00 AM Freedomland starts with promise, but that quickly fades to false hope as the film staggers under the weight of an overburdened plot and a lofty self-importance.
		It's not enough for director Joe Roth to take on motherhood, race relations, police ethics and infidelity, but he also tries to explore the meaning of life, although not in that amusing, Monty Python kind of way.
		In Roth's hands, Freedomland is a civics lesson disguised as a police drama, shrouded in a mystery that's not very mysterious to anyone who has seen the trailer.

		A dazed Brenda Martin (Julianne Moore) wanders into the hospital with injuries she claims to have sustained in a carjacking.
		FREEDOMLAND aspires to the topical and social relevance of a Spike Lee film, but Joe Roth is not up to the challenge.
		This ambitious film, penned by Richard Price, tackles issues of racial disharmony with the police and how feelings of parental inadequacy affect behavior, not to mention the conventional mystery elements with the missing kid and the possibility of Brenda being a Susan Smith figure.

		While watching so many of Freedomland's characters doing the wrong thing even though they're given the opportunity to do the right thing, I could not help but think of two passages from the New Testament: James 3:5 ("Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts.
		Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark") and James 1:14-15 ("But each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.
		To trigger that wider clash of cultures, though, this film narrows its focus to the relationship of one mother with her child.
