Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

austrohungaro As a kid I remember watching the movie Es geschah am hellichten Tag / The bait (Ladislao Vajda, 1958) several times and it was an always exciting experience, no matter I already knew exactly what happend on it, who was the murderer and so on... Today I've seen Th Pledge on TV (did't even know a remake had been made of the great movie I enjoyed so much in my youth) and recognized the story at once but has really been annoying watching how can a great story can develope into such a boring movie. by the way: why does Penn need 2h 4m to tell it? Removing the useless footage this movie could have lasted little more than one hour, I think it's stupid Penn makes it longer than 2 hours!Also the end, completely different to the original story, is pretty stupid and disappointing. Awful movie...

Majikat I truly underrated this film when I first watched it years ago, Nicholson has had duch a career is reknowned for the many memorable performances, but I feel this is one that has been been missed from his great ones. Obsession, guilt, retirement all of these drive the ex police detective to a new life, whilst the old is ever present, So glad I revisited.

Bill Brooks What gives? This film's cast includes a star-studded roll call including Helen Mirren, Jack Nicholson, Robin Wright Penn, Vanessa Redgrave, Mickey Rourke, Sam Shepard, and Harry Dean Stanton. But these names do not appear in the main listing for the film, only available in the 'full' listing. The only names I recognise in the main listing are Patricia Clarkson and Aaron Eckhart and we are blessed with such major players as Bus Driver, Store Clerk, Real Estate Agent, Criminologist #1, and Deputy #3. This is not the first example of this sort of thing on IMDB; can some common sense be brought to bear?

boardertrash Well acted, some beautiful imagery, keeps you interested with it's at times almost painful levels of suspense but is ultimately a big let down. We felt like we deserved a better ending. I suspect the author tried to come up with something different to an age old killer on the loose storyline and cop with "a hunch" but at the end of the day the audience has a certain requirement to enjoy what they've witnessed and if that fails to materialise for whatever reason then the movie can't be rated highly purely for the acting alone. Perhaps the book is better.
