Review of Don't Say a Word (2001) by Jim G — 02 Oct 2009
2 of 5 stars for the suspense movie "Don't Say a Word". Very simple plot, no plot twists, lots of suspense and a long movie with little contents. The story is simple, some nutcases want to extract a magic number that a girl has in her memory. The girl has been a mental patient most of her life. So, they kidnap the daughter of her shrink and demand he extract the number from the patient. From there it is a straight forward kidnapping recovery story.
Darkly photographed, lots of heavy stringed music to add a suspense edge to the movie. Well acted by Michael Douglas. But, not much reward for sitting thru the movie. No twists. You don't even really find any value from the magic number.
You can skip this movie.
