Review of Freedomland (2006) by Corey N — 25 Jun 2007
Though the film is slickly made and has fantastic production values, the last fifteen minutes of the film absolutely ruins it's intention. most people know it's not about a missing child, it's about the racial tension caused because it appears to the community that a whits woman is getting priority over there community life.
Jackson as usual is very good as Lorenzo but even he struggles with the material. but what also ruins the film is the usually fantastic Moore. here she is totally miscast as the mother and really overacts in her scenes, which makes it hard for the viewer to feel sympathy/ empathy toward her.
If the film had been made ten years earlier and had a better script then this could had been something, but with silly sub-plots and having a writer who does not seem to know how to end a film, this is a real waste.
