Don't Say A Word
...I'll never tell.
Michael Douglas is "tremendous" (Tribune News Services) in this psychological thriller "in the classic Hitchcock tradition" (The New York Observer). When the daughter of a prominent New York psychiatrist (Douglas) is kidnapped, his only hope for her safe return is to pry a 6-digit number from the memory of a troubled teenage girl - and time is running out!

Good Thriller With Sustained Suspense - revsdd
Overall, I really liked this movie, which I found was actually very engrossing. It had an interesting story line, sustained suspense and for the most part was well acted.
I particularly liked Brittany Murphy as Elisabeth Burrows, the psychiatric inmate whose tortured mind holds the information that Dr. Conrad (Michael Douglas) needs to get in order to save his young daughter Jessie's life. Murphy seemed so "into" her character that it was almost spooky to watch her. She was extremely convincing. Douglas I thought also offered up a good performance, as did Sean Bean as Patrick, the head kidnapper. Young Skye McCole Bartusiak was commendable but to me didn't seem to portray the range of emotions I would expect a young child to be feeling in Jessie's circumstances. She just seemed altogether too calm. The same could be said for Famke Janssen as Jessie's mother Aggie Conrad. I realize the character had a broken leg and apparently couldn't get out of bed, but again she just seemed to take the whole thing too calmly (and, when her own life was threatened she seemed able to move around well enough, broken leg or not!) As for Oliver Platt as Conrad's colleague Dr. Sachs? I find that, depending on the movie, I either like Platt or don't (no middle ground) and I didn't care for him in this movie.
Overall, though, the movie was quite good as a vehicle for Douglas.don't say a word - cdnboy
Michale Douglas suprised me again in this suspence thriller. From the beginning I thought it was clever with the twist at the very beginning and continueing through to the end. The story is quite believalbe although a bit frightning to think a young child could actually be that clever to protect themselves from something that frightens them without really knowing why. Good entertainmentExcellent Performance - holdononesec
A Great Storyline, Kept Me Interested Till The Very End. I'd Have To Say The Performance Among All The Actors Was Amazing, Also Very Suspenseful All The Way Along, Always Kept My Eyes Glued To The TV, Great Movie, I Would Recommend This As A Definate Buy!
