The Pledge (2001) Double-Sided, Original Rolled Poster 27x40

The Pledge is a 2001 psychological crime drama directed by Sean Penn, starring Jack Nicholson as Jerry Black, a retiring police detective who becomes obsessed with solving the brutal murder of a young girl in rural Nevada. Despite the case being officially closed with a confession from a suspect, Jerry is unconvinced and makes a personal vow—or pledge—to the victim’s mother that he will find the real killer. As he delves deeper into the case, Jerry’s investigation leads him down a dark, increasingly unstable path that blurs the line between dedication and obsession. The film is a haunting exploration of guilt, aging, and the psychological toll of confronting evil, with a somber tone and a deliberately unsettling conclusion that defies traditional crime thriller expectations.
