"The Pledge" is a fascinating psychological thriller, and most importantly, after a strong opening, it still maintains a humble character. Slow pace is an important element in the film’s structure. The film’s characteristic is that a specific event can always return in the form of a small coincidence, but all of this is within the theme: commitment is debt
. Different from ordinary police movies, in addition to the intense and exciting plot, the emotional changes of the characters in the play also serve as one of the main lines of the story, not just as a foreshadowing to set off the plot. In particular, the psychological evolution of the detective from cynicism to affection, until he has no hesitation in the play, is more exciting than fighting the murderer with wit and courage. The film is dark and disturbing, but it involves a wide range of aspects, which will trigger a deep mental recharge
