Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
This mixed-up, self-important thriller is adapted by Richard Price from his own novel and wastes a talented cast.

rotten:
Moviemakers who exploit the suffering and death of children to ratchet up the dramatic stakes belong in the innermost circle of hell, but Freedomland -- clumsy and overwrought as it is -- earns the right to its harrowing trajectory.
– David Edelstein,

12 May 2006
fresh:
What begins as a familiar kind of media-circus melodrama ends up being something much more complex and tangled.
– Andrew Sarris,

fresh:
A sometimes heavy-handed urban drama punctuated by some devastatingly effective scenes.

rotten:
The performances all around are lousy -- histrionic and turgid, a most lethal combination.
