Freedomland

I have rented over 280 movies from Netflix and seen countless others before that. Freedomland is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. What is with Samual L. Jackson that he does so many good movies and so many HORRIBLE movies. Most of the time there are two things a movie is about: What its about (the plot/story line) and what its really about (the deeper message). However, you can't try to protrait a deeper message without a plot, which is what Freedomland seemed to try to accomplish. There were multiple scenes that made absolutley no sense in the big picture. I don't care for Julianne Moore before, and this film only reafermed my distain for her. I can understand she was trying to play a crazy character, but wow. I supposed some of the fault should also lie with the director, cause I could have never accepted any of the scenes she did. I feel bad for Richard Price, the author of the best-selling novel that the movie is based on. I didn't read the book, but I'm guessing they did a horrible job moving it to the big screen (and if movie is an acurate portrayal of the book, then this should have never been chosen to be made into a movie). I usually find a way to like something about most of the movies I see and I almost always at least enjoy watching a movie, but Freedomland was definatly an exception to both of those statements. Don't bother.
