Adapted from Andrew Klavan's bestselling suspense novel, Don't Say a Word is a suitable companion to director Gary Fleder's earlier hit Kiss the Girls, with solid performances serving a plot that begins promisingly. The tension starts when the daughter of a topnotch New York psychiatrist (Michael Douglas) is kidnapped by a bitter ex-con (Sean Bean) with an old score to settle. Aided by an unwitting colleague (Oliver Platt), Douglas can save his daughter by extracting crucial information from a traumatized patient (Brittany Murphy), while his bedridden wife (Famke Janssen) and a tenacious detective (Jennifer Esposito) do their part to solve the mystery. Fleder pushes all the routine buttons with effectively somber style, so Don't Say a Word will satisfy anyone with a preference for high-anxiety thrillers, even as it grows increasingly conventional; it's entertaining without being particularly original. It's a by-the-book programmer, just right for rainy-day viewing. --Jeff Shannon

Decent Kidnap Story Worth A Look February 9, 2009
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 cliche 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

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!

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.

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....

This movie is by itself a great thriller and well worth the viewing. While some have complained about 'unoriginality' I have to say, come on, originality?
After past half century of movie making most themes have been heavily used the only thing that counts is making it fresh, making us want to watch it, and this movie did that. It gave us new twists, interesting scenes, and great acting notably by Sean Bean who was a brilliant villian and overall priceless addition to the movie.
