Full Plot Details

Late one evening, Brenda Martin, a thirty-seven year old Caucasian woman from the proverbial wrong side of the tracks, enters Dempsy Medical Center in Dempsy, New Jersey with minor injuries, but she is also emotionally distraught. One of the people to who she tells her story is Dempsy Police Detective Lorenzo Council, a black man. That story is that she was just carjacked by another unknown black man when she took a shortcut that she had never traveled between the Armstrong housing projects, where she works at the Rainbow Club, a children's center, and her home in Gannon, New Jersey. Her emotional distress is because her four year old son, Cody, was asleep in the back seat of the car and is thus now in the hands of the carjacker. Brenda's brother, Danny Martin, a police detective in Gannon, cannot help but get directly involved in the investigation despite he operating outside his jurisdiction. His actions do not sit well with Council, who he insinuates is not only not doing his job, but is protecting his own "people", i.e. the primarily black populace in the Armstrong housing projects. In addition, the residents of the projects feel that Brenda is getting special treatment as a white woman, as several children have gone missing from the projects without such a frenzied police intervention, which is unnecessarily and unfairly disrupting their lives. Karen Collucci with Friends of Kent, a volunteer organization that conducts searches for missing children, also offers their services, which Council eventually accepts with the caveat that they work under his directive. "Kent" was Collucci's own son never found, his disappearance which destroyed her personal life. Through the process, Council can't help but think that Brenda isn't telling them the entire story...

Movie Reviews

Los Angeles CityBeat - 9/10 by Andy KleinRoth takes hackneyed situations and clichéd dialogue and makes them play worse on the screen, even managing to get a bad performance from Moore -- no mean feat.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 9/10 by John BeifussBoth a solemn search for a dead child and a violent race riot are scored with celestial keyboard washes and choral harmonies intended to imbue the scenes with Significance.
Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema - 9/10 by Mark PfeifferFreedomland aspires to the topical and social relevance of a Spike Lee film, but Joe Roth is not up to the challenge.
Groucho Reviews - 8/10 by Peter CanaveseThe uncommon flavor and unconventional rhythms of Price's writing make Freedomland compelling.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleAt the finish, the filmmakers give us at least three different endings, probably because they have no idea what Freedomland is saying, probably because it's not saying much of anything. But a film with this many virtues can't be written off as just another average entry.
Charlotte Observer - 8/10 by Lawrence ToppmanThe film doesn't lose its way emotionally; it's full of great monologues about loss and responsibility.
Laramie Movie Scope - 8/10 by Robert RotenA 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.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Lewis BealeA compelling, beautifully written and impossible-to-put-down book has been turned into a mediocre film that seems self-important and listless.
Christianity Today - 8/10 by Todd HertzNot much of this is new territory, but it can be gripping at times.
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonPrice's bustling script and the actors provide enough drama to overcome the terrible direction by Joe Roth.
