Freedomland- D+

One of the few rules that I live my life by: See everything Julianne Moore does. Here Julianne Moore must have seen an interesting character somewhere amidst this mess of a thriller. Freedomland is the worst kind of bad movie, one that thinks it's profound. If you could extract the good performances by Moore, Edie Falco, and Samuel L. Jackson, you'd be left with a Lifetime movie, including the tender soundtrack. On top of it all, there are moment that are just plain bad film making. I think it's pretty common knowledge that you can't hear a conversation in an interrogation room from the hallway, or that bringing a half-crazed mother to search the building that's suspected your dead son is in. If you can look past the basic mistakes and the "overly important" story, there are some fantastic scenes between Jackson and Moore, and one between Falco and Moore that is the most thrilling part of the movie.
