Rent The Pledge (2001)


A dark and harrowing drama involving murder, suspense and plenty of seat-gripping experiences for the viewer! Jerry Black (Jack Nicholson), a homicide detective, undertakers one last case on the day of his retirement. An eight-year-old girl has been found murdered in the snow-covered mountains of Mexico and her mother begs Black to unravel the mystery of her daughter's death. With the help of local waitress Lori (Robin Wright Penn) and her young daughter Chrissy (Pauline Roberts), Black embarks on an unpredictable and riveting hunt for the killer where things are not always as they seem. Sean Penn's unique portrayal of this murder mystery makes for sensational viewing.

The Pledge review by Tony

Enjoyable portrayal
(1) of (2) members found this review helpful.
An intriguing murder mystery that's also effective as a character study. Penn shows maturity patience and acting knowledge in letting the actors discover those moments, rhythms, and their quirks that make characters believable. With the purposefully shaky hand of Jack Nicholson giving its power - some developments have a natural predictability, the movie ends up taking us on a journey that is unexpected and shattering.

The Pledge review by Matt Wood

Watchable but nothing special
(0) of (2) members found this review helpful.
I had high hopes for this film as it was rated quite highly by others. Storyline is just a little too predictable for my liking. I watched this film only a few weeks ago and already I am stuggling to remember it - clear indication that this is nothing special.
