The Pledge (2011)
10/10
Very pleasant surprise
2 December 2015
I never write reviews. Movies never make me cry. But this one brought me to tears.

The acting was far from perfect, lightness was a bit on the shiny side (that might have been due to the copy i watched), it sometimes felt empty, like things were missing, as if budget didn't allow for much 'decor' but it also made the viewer more focused on the story and in a way the emptiness suited that story pretty well.

Even if you aren't liking the first half hour i strongly advise you to stick with watching because the movie gets stronger and better after that.

Whatever your personal opinion on the war might be, this film isn't the type to try to shove it's beliefs through your screen, it displays all and does not stereotype.
