The Pledge (I) (2001)
10/10
Masterful
30 October 2022
What a shock - an American movie that is normally paced, restrained, nuanced and articulate. Jack Nicholson is sublime. It restored my faith in excellent direction and superb acting, even in American cinema.

Realism rather than big haired women with trowelled-on make up, car chases and guns guns guns. Sustained suspense coupled with acute observation of everyday characters - best thing on Netflix these days. It held my attention to the last frame, and renewed my faith in Nicholson as an accomplished thespian. Aaron Eckhardt anderen Robin Wright also shone in secondary but by no means minor roles .More please!
