Negative Positive
Title: poignant
Review: Jerry Black is a veteran cop on the verge of retiring when a crime occurs. A little girl is brutally killed the night of Jerry's retirement party. Jerry (Jack Nicholson) talks to the parents of the slain girl and promises them that he will find the killer and justice will be served. Since Jerry retired, he became increasingly attached to the case. His life changes for the better in a big way soon after retiring and he seems to be very happy but that crime still eats away at him. Because he promised to solve the case, he sticks with it to the dismay of his friends in the police department.Jerry's problem I think has less to do with him being unable to let things go and more to do with his inability to find other things besides police work to bring more meaning into his life.
