Critics consensus

“Though its subject matter is grim and may make viewers queasy, The Pledge features an excellent, subtle performance by Jack Nicholson.”

Mystery-thriller buffs, promise yourselves that you'll see The Pledge. And while you're at it, be sure to invite along Jack Nicholson fans and anyone who saw the first two movies that Sean Penn directed.

Penn can't be faulted for his work with the actors. Most of the featured players have only a scene or two, but they're indelible.

Ultimately, the payoffs just aren't there, either psychologically or dramatically.

Penn has accommodated himself to the political and artistic status quo in an unfortunate manner.
