Freedomland (2006)

Cast: Samuel L. Jackson (Lorenzo Council), Julianne Moore (Brenda Martin), Edie Falco (Karen Collucci), Ron Eldard (Danny Martin)
For complete info, see IMDb's Freedomland page.

The concept for this movie was great. In fact, until I saw Freedomland, I was a bit bummed that I didn't get to see it in theatres to make the thriller extra scary. But, now that I've seen it, I know Freedomland was an okay rental.

I can't believe anyone classified this as a thriller. Perhaps if I knew what I was getting into, I would have enjoyed the movie more. The plot wasn't that great, the scenes in Freedomland itself (once they finally got there, though the previews made it seem like this was a large part of the movie, as does the title) were not scary or in the least bit frightening as the previews implied. There was nothing scary in this movie. It was more of a minor mystery, if that. Since the movie is very easy to figure out, I'm not sure it can even be called a mystery.

I wouldn't recommend Freedomland. I'm sure there are many more interesting movies to see. It's not a thriller or a mystery, which takes out everything it seemed to be aiming at, so why bother with it?

Grade: C
