The Pledge
CrimeDramaMysteryThriller124 min
On the day he retires, a police chief promises a grieving mother that he will find the man who killed her daughter, and the case refuses to let him go. Jack Nicholson is the veteran investigator at the center of Sean Penn’s bleak mystery, following leads as police work gives way to hunches, drawings, and a carefully built profile of an unknown killer. Patricia Clarkson and Robin Wright are part of the ensemble around him as that promise begins to overtake the quiet retirement he was supposed to be starting.
