3/5 Decent Kidnap Story Worth A Look
  by Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
Here's another interesting kidnap story. Sean Bean always plays a believable villain and Michael Douglas usually plays roles that keep the audience's attention....so the almost- two hours go by pretty quickly. The whole cast, actually, pretty good with no one person standing out.

The story loses points because the ending goes on too long and has the standard villain-holds-the-gun-and-doesn't shoot-too long cliché which drives critics, me included, crazy. That, and a bit too many f-words in here by the female cop (Jennifer Esposito) which simply aren't necessary.

A few other credibility holes all reduce this from a sure 4-star to a "3.....but don't misunderstand: it's worth a look

1/5 "I'll never tell..."
  by ADRIENNE MILLER (TENNESSEE)
Don't Say a Word is a confusing suspense film. There is absolutely no logic from the criminals perspective or anyone else for that matter. Michael Douglas looks so bored in this, his weakest performance ever. Brittany Murphy is the only thing captivating about this film, that girl is a rare talent. I cannot recommend this film because the plot is pointless, skip this one!

4/5 A Nice litte thriller
  by Derrick Dunn (Woodbridge,VA)
Don't Say A Word is a very good thriller. Michael Douglas in the lead plays a father who has to ge ta number from a crazed mental patient to help save his daughter. The film has very good acting and cinematography and the always sexy Jennifer Esposito.

5/5 PREDICTABLE? I think not!
  by Edward Hancock II (GILMER, TX)
If you were able to predict the ending of this one, you're a better man than I. This movie was spooky and chilling! Brittany Murphy plays her role very well and Michael Douglas is "on form". (Which is to say he gives it his all as always.)

It's an intense story and one you have to see to believe.

The line is given with such eerie believability....
"I'll never telllllll......"
