The Pledge
Sean Penn / US, 2001 / 122 min.
Sean Penn’s layered psychological portrait of an almost retired detective (Jack Nicholson) who pledges he will find an eight-year-old girl’s murderer whilst heading for his own moral downfall. Adapted from the novel by Friedrich Dürrenmatt.
A mere six hours separate detective Jerry Black from his retirement, something he is definitely not looking forward to. This double divorcee with no children can’t imagine life without the excitement of police work.
