Review of The Pledge

The Pledge (I) (2001)
5/10
Another Bad Ending
18 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was a solid 7, pushing on 8, until the last 15 minutes of the movie. It's as easy to see that the ending was forced due to budget issues. What a waste of three quarters of a story. We were on the edge of our seats and they did a good job of character building and plot twist.

Then....they turn everything upside down at the end. When did Jerry become a psychotic alcoholic???? After all he had done for the mother and daughter l, they just walk away???? Too many unknowns to make for a good ending. It's really sad what they did to this movie. It says it bombed at the cinemas??? That's cause word got out about the ending!
