Review of The Pledge (2001) by Douglas N — 10 Dec 2010

Now issuing my three sentence review. Not merely a who done it but its also a character study about one man's obsession and how it slowly breaks him down. Jack Nicholson plays Jerry Black, a retired cop who makes a promise to a mother to find her daughter's killer and his obsession with finding the real killer slowly makes him go insane.

With an amazing cast and great cinematography, Sean Penn shows that he is an great director and knows what he wants in this slow paced atmospheric thriller.
