Nicholson plays the role of a retired police officer who has made a pledge to track down the killer of a young girl. The way he does that takes up most of the motion picture. It is a psychological drama as he deals with his obsession. You realize what he is doing, while the people around him do not. His obsession eventually destroys friendships. The story takes a major twist at the end, and you somehow feel that he has been left hanging.
It is not the type story that appeals to everyone, but it is a solid performance by Nicholson who carries most of the story.. And summed up by saying A different type police story. Currently The Pledge has an overall rating of 6 over 10.
