Nicholson rules over The Pledge with a shaky hand, and that's the source of his power here.

Penn can't be faulted for his work with the actors. Most of the featured players have only a scene or two, but they're indelible.
October 08, 2006
After two honorable failures, Sean Penn makes quantum leap forward with an intriguing murder mystery that's also effective as a psychological character study. Nicholosn's riveting turn compensates for deliberate pacing and downbeat tone.

It's the rare -- and rewarding -- police drama that cares more for character than plot.

Its grip is on the mind but not the heart--a problem for a film that clearly aims for some emotional impact.

It's "one last ride" for our leading character Jerry Black (Nicholson), until he abandons the case and retires. It examines a man trying to relinquish his deduction instincts in exchange for a slippery grip on a 'normal' life.

Mystery-thriller buffs, promise yourselves that you'll see The Pledge. And while you're at it, be sure to invite along Jack Nicholson fans and anyone who saw the first two movies that Sean Penn directed.
Rolling Stone

A fierce, fragmented, downbeat film.
September 17, 2010
Sean Penn's agonizing, angst-ridden "The Pledge" feels like a mystery less about murder and more about the inexplicable dangers of impulse and guilt. It's also a waning opportunity to see Jack Nicholson as anything besides a silver-haired hornball.

Ultimately, the payoffs just aren't there, either psychologically or dramatically.

[Penn] sustains a mesmerizing intensity while relentlessly building toward an emotionally wrenching climax.
Toronto Star

A movie of impressive performances and intriguing visuals that are worth the effort needed to let the tale roll out.
