ABOUT SCHMIDT
In the finest drawn characterisation of his career, Jack Nicholson is Warren Schmidt, a man at the crossroads of life. Retired, restless and wondering 'who is this old woman who shares my bed'; Schmidt's life has been one of passive acceptance and repressed rage. But two major events force Schmidt to wake up for the first time. So he takes to the road in a 35-foot Winnebago to try and save his estranged daughter from marrying a loser. But what he really embarks on is a journey of discovery, a darkly funny and painful odyssey.and what he finds ain't pretty. From Alexander Payne, the award winning Writer/Director of 'Election', this is a blisteringly funny yet profoundly moving film that is impossible to pigeonhole and impossible to forget.

PLEDGE
On the eve of his retirement, Nevada homicide detective Jerry Black (Jack Nicholson) is drawn into the most horrifying crime of his life - the battered body of a little girl has been found and it has all the markings of a serial killer. Black is the one chosen to tell the little girl's family of her tragic fate. He promises the distraught parents that he will find the killer no matter how long it takes and whatever the toll. THIS PLEDGE WILL CHANGE HIS LIFE FOREVER.

To the rest of the force, a suspect has been found and he has confessed before taking his own life. The case is officially closed. End of story. But instinct tells Black that the killings have not ended. Driven to seek the truth, Black will also be driven to the point of obsession.

Where does duty end and obsession begin? And what price will this pledge exact on Black and all those around him?
