The Plegde
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Robin Wright-Penn, and Benicio Del Toro
Directed by: Sean Penn
Synopsis: A detective on the day of his retirement vows to find the real rapist/killer of a little girl. He becomes involved with a single mother and her young daughter and begins to use the girl as bait to draw out the killer.
My thoughts: The director took a more artsy approach to this thriller, putting emphasis on character analysis rather than heavy suspense tactics, thus making it feel more like a drama. I also felt unsatisfied with the climax, but others may find it delightful irony.
Score: 6 out of 10
