Movie Review: One of the best and most powerful films of the year
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first excellent film of the year for me. It was a stunning bolt of filmaking from Indian Runner and Crossing Guard director Sean Penn and was acted intensely well by Jack Nicholson. The effect hasn't changed now that it's on the small screen.Penn brings a intricate and sprwaling thriller of a story about a retiring detective, played with calm yet fierceness by Nicholson, who makes a promise to the mother of a child who was killed to find the killer. This leads him into a journey into another woman's life (Wright-Penn) and trying to make sure her daughter doesn't suffer a similar fate.
Penn doesn't pounce on his chances to thrill and ponder like other directors do, but presents them in a way that will well up fright up until the shocking end. Nicholson is equally exceptional in one of his best recent roles.

i bought THE PLEDGE on dvd a few weeks ago. I didnt enjoy it the first time i watched it. The second time i watched the film i liked a whole bunch. I guess its a real good movie if it is a lot bettter the 2nd time around.i was excpecting a lot more action in it but i didnt get very much. All we get to see is a dreary suicide. We get to see a lot of stars in brief roles in this picture. Look for veteran actor HARRY DEAN STNTON as the guy who JACK NICHOLSON buys the gas station from.
I thought that the film had a certain unique feature about it. Maybe i just like movies about cops. That could be it. The certain twist at the end of the film puts a grin on your face and meks you think jack nicholson went crazy. i sure thought he did. I highly recomend this movie. You will enjoy this more if you like police movies.

This movie begin strong with a almost pensioner cop who's BLACK interpreted by the best actor JACK NICHOLSON when he is at the beginning of the story, obligated to take, to hold the PLEDGE who he will capture the murderer of the litlles blonds girls commited by a giant described but he search without find this murderer ! He goes under depression in despite of its efforts to search and search again the sinful, but he can't find him because he is killed on the road by a truck just before he is ready to make and to realize THE PLEDGE WHO HE HAS HOLD the criminal is dead before the END and during WITCH his INQUEST EVOLVE ! BUT I'S TO LATE ! HE BECOME MAD AND ALMOST CREAZY ! If the story is not clear it's because we are not vigilants, the MOVIE... IS PERFECT ! SURELY and JACK NICHOLSON plaid a good tragedy !Movie Review: Great movie but slow !
Summary: 5 Stars
This is another flop from Franchise Pictures after Battlefield earth, Get Carter, Art Of War, 3000 miles to Graceland, but this is the best movie to come out from Franchise Pictures. Jack Nicholson gives another oscar caliber performance. Sean Penn direct but personally I think the movie is very slow moving that will bore some people. But again this is not a movie for everybody. The story about a soon to be retired cop (Nicholson) who on the eve of his retirement went along to a murder scene and get involved with the investigation of a serial killing of little girls. The ending is unusual, but I think it is very interesting. The DVD itself is great. The picture is excellent and the sound is OK as most of the movie is dialogue anyway. If you don't mind slow movie, this DVD is highly recommended.
