Title: Ok, Nicholson can act! Great news...
Review: We all know Nicholson can act. And tha''s the only thing worthwhile in this movie: to watch him interpret in a great and convincing manner a retired cop haunted by a Pledge to solve the murder of a little girl. But that's all you will get from this movie, fellow.Penn's direction is slow, uninspiring. No, I'm not just another fast-food film consumer. But it was clear for me that Penn tried to design a special mood for the film, but id not work. The cast is also misleading to potential audience: we've got the names of Del Toro and Rourke: they appear briefly, no more than four minutes, probably paying some kind of favor to Penn.It was not a total waste of time, but it came close. MOvies like Charlie's Angels are a TOTAL waste of time because they're total junk; movies like this one comes close because they heroically try to be bigger than they really are, and it does not always work.
Is the review positive or negative?
