TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 5d The Pledge starring Jack Nicholson is an older thriller that I honestly never expected to watch, and I didn’t even realize it existed for a long time. Surprisingly, the film is put together quite well. The story is engaging, though it leans heavily on extended dialogue that can make certain parts feel slow and a bit overwhelming. At times the pacing feels like it’s drowning in conversation, but it never becomes so tedious that you want to turn it off. The screenplay could have been tightened to appeal more to a modern audience, especially since many viewers today prefer faster storytelling. Still, the film holds its own for its time. Nicholson delivers a strong, commanding performance that keeps the story grounded. Overall, The Pledge is a decent and thoughtful thriller. It may feel slow at times, but it remains interesting enough to watch and worth checking out. See more Jeremy S @RT61123228 Mar 9 The first 3/4s of the film were unsettling and effective. Then you see what they are up against and, as with many a movie, the tension goes. See more Max M. @Househuntermax Mar 2 Great cast and great production value. The story draws you in initially, but then the movie just doesn’t go anywhere for a long, long time. Ultimately ends up unsatisfying.

Terribly slow, boring, with unrealistic situations. That’s coming from someone who pretty much loves everything with Jack Nicholson in it. Avoid or find something else to do during it like a workout.. I did! See more McKenna M @mayfield05 Feb 22 This was most terrible movie i have ever seen. It ruined my day. I can’t even express myself fully. Horrible. I think it was well made i guess, but i’m never watching it again and i will never recommend this to anyone (unless they want to be depressed for the rest of the day.) I mean what kinda sad person made the ending!? Oh my goodness See more Daniel F @RT14036283 Jan 21 Always had a mixed feeling about this movie. On one hand, Jack was amazing in this, just like he always is. The plot was intriguing and had a lot of potential. But I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that the ending was just unnecessarily grim, had zero redemption arc and felt half stupid, half cheated (as in the viewer felt cheated). I get they were trying to do a non-Hollywood "controversial" angle, but there's still a way to do that well and this wasn't it. See more Read all reviews
