Sean Penn directed this 2001 film about a retired homicide detective (Jack Nicholson) who continues to investigate the sadistic murder of a young girl even though his former colleagues believe the case is solved and closed. He has sworn "on my soul" to solve the case to the girl's mother. He buys a mom and pop gas station in rural Nevada, the area where he believes the killer can be found. Soon a battered housewife (an unrecognizable Robin Penn Wright) and her young daugther come to live with him. Nicholson bonds and then falls in love with the two although still continuing his investigation. His use of the young girl as bait for the killer has tragic results and what started as a routine police procedural turns into something quite different. This is Penn's thirs directorial outing, his second with Nicholson. Needless to say, Nicholson is a different type of retiree than the one he plays in "About Schmidt". Highly redcommended.
