Enjoyed this movie when it came out and the subdued performance from Jack.

Fantastic, sadly overlooked film

I agree. I saw some famous director or someone say in an interview that Nicholson hadn't given an "unmannered" performance since REDS, but I disagree, I think he does that here too. His shtick is all turned off here and he's a real human being.

Another DVD I can retire

Agreed. Incredible cast, but it's Nicholson's and Penn's film. Pledged to pick this up, 'Day One.'

Seems like Mill Creek is going for all of the remaining Mill Creek titles. This is the one of the ones I've been really hoping for.

dkelly26666 · 07-13-2020, 07:53 PM

They have a double feature of "Imaginary Crimes" (Harvey Keitel) and "Silent Fall" (Richard Dreyfuss), plus "The Pledge"!!!!

I am so excited about this!!!!

Filmmaker · 07-13-2020, 07:56 PM

Nowhere near as good as Penn and Nicholson’s previous outing, THE CROSSING GUARD, but still a pleasure to see announced.

Jesus, that goddamn Rotten Tomatoes logo.

Cremildo · 07-13-2020, 07:58 PM

Wow. One of the most tragic films I've ever seen. Glad to see it getting the HD treatment.

Worship.my.wreck · 07-13-2020, 08:01 PM

Why is there a "certified fresh" logo on a 19 year old movie?

garyd97 · 07-13-2020, 08:06 PM

Love the movie, hate that stupid rotten tomatoes logo. Does anyone even care about rotten tomatoes?

Um, because it’s literally certified fresh at RottenTomatoes.com.

Because the film, brilliant as it is, was a financial disaster when it came out in theaters, and is largely forgotten by the general public. They're hoping to move a few more units of their BD.

Fantastic news. One of the last great Nicholson performances. The cast is incredible - Mickey Rourke, Vanessa Redgrave, Tom Noonan, Benicio del Toro, Helen Mirren, etc. Even Lois Smith, who played Nicholson's sister in Five Easy Pieces, has a brief scene. Great movie.

Purplenoon · 07-13-2020, 11:01 PM

Classic. Close to a masterpiece. One of Jack’s best performances. Heartbreaking ending. Not to be missed.

DukeTogo84 · 07-13-2020, 11:26 PM

Can't believe it's taken so long for this to get a Blu-ray here. Pretty strange.

dkelly26666 · 07-13-2020, 11:38 PM

"The Pledge" and "Imaginary Crimes" were really the last two Morgan Creek titles left that I wanted on BD, and now they're both coming! I'm very happy, personally.

It’s horrible, but if I have to I’ll take that over the goddamn snapper case the DVD comes in. What idiot designed those things? As soon as you get any kind of humidity into the cardboard, they warp and bend and look like a potato chip with plastic ends.
