The Plege – Sean Penn (2001)
A film directed by Sean Penn.
In a small, Northern American town, a girl is found brutally murdered. A suspect was quickly caught. Jerry Black (Jack Nicholson) looks into the case on his last day before retirement, but he is not convinced about the conclusion. In the following time, Black keeps investigating the case and finds similar cases near by. His former colleagues are not much interested in his theories.
In the meantime, Black starts a new life in another small town. The case catches up with him though and while trying to catch the killer, things do not go as he hoped they would.
An alright crime thriller with a few surprising small parts of Benicio del Toro, Mickey Rourke, Harry Dean Stanton, Helen Mirren and Tom Noonan who is again the creepy guy like in “Manhunter”.
