The Jack Nicholson film THE PLEDGE......

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Has anyone seen this recently? I can't figure out what was what with this film.
I know Jack's character goes crazy at the end, when the killer doesn't show at the river where he, the little girl and the Reno SWAT team are waiting in ambush, but two things are puzzling.
The car accident was supposedly the killer on his way back up the mountains (Greg Jackson, the tall preacher son of porcupine lady?) but it was a different 'dark' stationwagon than the purple Ford Tarus we see earlier in the movie, as he drives up to his house.
Next, the Christmas World Store lady is searching through some cubbards and yelling for 'Oliver' and then she finds some chocolates that are referred to as porcupines. Who was Oliver? She seemed kind of schitzo herself.
Anyway, I went back and watched some scenes and just didn't get this one. Maybe just a sad ending? I realize that the black Volvo looking stationwagon in the accident had the porcupine thingy hanging off the rear view mirror, implying that he was the bad guy, but was it just happenstance that he got in the wreck?

Thanks, Chris
