Although directed by Sean Penn, Starring Jack Nicholson and based on Friedrich Dürrenmatt's book, the pledge just does not quiet deliver. Perhaps a little more action or intrigues would have helped...

This film is on Ebert's all-time best list but I had a hard time finding it in HD. The film is about a cop who covers a very troubling crime during the last day of his career. He can't let the crime go and he begins to investigate it on his own time. He becomes a bit obsessed with the case and then realizes that it might be bigger than it is. I won't say too much more about the film as it goes in a very interesting direction. It reminded me a lot of [spoiler] The Conversation [/spoiler] (if you haven't seen that film you should as it is one of the best movies that I've ever seen). follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook page IHateBadMovies

>" I made a promise, Eric. You're old enough to remember when that meant something..." I am impressed, Sean Penn. Serial killers are always something that intrigue me, but not every movie does a good job with it. The Pledge changed it up a bit where the focus is more on a retiree learning how to deal with getting old. Jack Nicholson continues to show why he is so good in films.

I think that this movie is pretty good especially because of the ending. I thought it would be generic but the ending was different from most movies. Little bit more action and character development and movie would be great. Overall in my opinnion a good mustery/thriller. 7/10

Watching the opening credits, I was really impressed by all those well-known names popping up, because I had no idea this movie even existed.. and now I know it's because it isn't that good. _Especially_ compared to the book of the same name by **Friedrich Dürrenmatt**.
