Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMickey Rourke was attempting a comeback from his self-imposed exile to professional boxing. He was also broke. Because of his wild reputation, studios were reluctant to cast him, and he was relegated to B-Grade action movies that went straight to video. Sean Penn was a big fan of Rourke, and he insisted on casting him in a small but pivotal scene as the grieving father of a murdered child. After this small part, Rourke began to get offered larger roles with bigger studios.
- GoofsThere are no tunnels outside Reno, Nevada.
This is not a goof, it's "creative geography" and is a widely used cinematic device.

Duane Larsen: WHY WOULDN'T THAT BE A GOOD IDEA?
Jerry Black: Because we hardly dared to look ourselves.

Featured review
The Pledge is a....... good movie.
I see how people can dislike it, it is a kind of long movie, and you have to be patient with it. The ending is kind of frustrating to those seeking all the answers, but anyone with a fairly open mind will like it instantly.
The movie was good, I liked it, my mom and my little sister even liked it.
Sean Penn made sure not to try to win over a crown using the generic appeal, sex, gore, et cetera. He was very classy with this movie, good job on his part.
Acting was good throughout the movie, Jack Nicholson did a good job, I especially liked Benicio Del Toro's part, even though it was not too long.
I don't know, pretty much, it's a good movie, nothing out of the ball park. But it is worth the watch.
