Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Rainey Dawn As a young girl Brittany Murphy witnessed a gang of men hunting her father down which resulted in his death. She was severely traumatized and institutionalized after that. The gang leader, Patrick, has tracked her down and has also taken the daughter of psychiatrist Nathan Conrad hostage in order to force Dr. Conrad into finding out a 6 digit number that Brittany has in her memory. It's a fast-paced, worth watching thriller that leaves no room for long boring scenes - full of thrills from start to finish - I was captured from the very start. Quite a bit of screen time for Sean Bean fans!8/10

Thanos Karagioras "Don't Say a Word" is a mystery thriller movie in which we watch a psychiatrist trying to find his daughter after she was kidnapped from a group of people who don't want money but only an information. This information is a secret that only a woman knows and she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. His goal is to break through this woman and discover this secret in order to get his daughter back.I enjoyed this movie because I didn't have high expectations for it since I was already informed by its trailer and some reviews that I have already read. It has a well-written script with some good scenes and an interesting plot that I believe it's the most important advantage of this movie. I also liked the interpretations of Michael Douglas who played as Dr. Nathan R. Conrad and Brittany Murphy who played as Elisabeth Burrows but I believe that both didn't reach their original potential. The direction which was made by Gary Fleder was poor with a few good scenes and nothing more.Finally, I believe that "Don't Say a Word" is a good average movie with a decent and interesting plot that keeps you intense and interested in the whole duration of it. I recommend for everyone to see it because I am sure that you are going to have a great time watching it but don't have high expectations for it because you are going to be disappointed.

Python Hyena Don't Say a Word (2001): Dir: Gary Fleder / Cast: Michael Douglas, Sean Bean, Famke Janssen, Brittany Murphy, Jennifer Esposito: The title indicates the advice I would give to anyone who had the misfortune of sitting through this formula drag. It symbolizes a threat or warning and the physical dysfunction of one of the characters. It begins in Brooklyn, 1991 with a robbery and theft of a jewel that is then stolen from the thieves. Michael Douglas plays a psychiatrist who is about to go home for Thanksgiving when he is assigned to a particular patient. He has a daughter, and a wife with one leg in a cast, but before long his daughter is kidnapped and his apartment is under surveillance. He must seek a number from his new patient but she has a past that Douglas must unearth. Directed by Gary Fleder who previously made another missing female thriller called Kiss the Girls. Perhaps he should take out a missing persons ad and call it a day. Douglas pulls through as someone struggling for answers out of a difficult medium. Sean Bean plays the standard villain similar to his role in Goldeneye. Also featured are Famke Janssen in a cardboard role, and Brittany Murphy who steals her scenes as the patient with her own traumas. While the film is well made technically in terms of its lighting and location work, it is still a pointless cliché filled thriller where the less said the better. Score: 5 / 10

seymourblack-1 "Don't Say A Word" is an entertaining "race against time" thriller with plenty of action, some good acting and a few neat twists. Visually, it's easy on the eye and its plot involves bank robbery, murder and kidnapping as well as an ordinary man who has to do something extraordinary in order to save the life of his child. The stakes are high and the tension grows steadily until things become even more desperate as time starts to run out. Interestingly, the story has a few different strands which eventually converge and the pace of the action is lively throughout.A gang breaks into a bank and steals just one high value item (a gem worth $10 million) but after making a clean getaway, it's soon discovered that one of the criminals has double-crossed his associates and has absconded with the jewel. The other gang members then hunt him down and kill him in a subway station.Ten years later, after having served their time in prison, the gang kidnap the 8-year-old daughter of Dr Nathan Conrad (Michael Douglas) who's a highly respected New York psychiatrist. Conrad is a specialist in dealing with teenage patients and the kidnappers demand that he elicit from one of his patients a 6-digit number which is buried somewhere in her troubled mind. Jessie Conrad (Skye McCole Bartusiak) is abducted early in the morning of Thanksgiving Day and Dr Conrad is given until 5.00pm to get the necessary information. If he fails Jessie will be killed.Elisabeth Burrows (Brittany Murphy) is a particularly challenging patient who has been institutionalised for many years and has displayed a confusing variety of symptoms. Conrad eventually gains her cooperation when he tells her that his daughter has been kidnapped and through his efforts, it's gradually discovered that her trauma originated in an incident, which happened ten years earlier when she saw her father being killed by the gang who'd committed the bank robbery. The significance of the 6-digit number then becomes clear, as it's a vital piece of information which could enable the gang to locate the stolen gem.Sean Bean gives a strong performance as the vicious gang leader and powerfully projects just how cold, clever and threatening his character really is. The way that he uses surveillance equipment to watch Dr Conrad's family before and after Jessie's abduction is also very scary as it quickly becomes clear that the gang can see everything that the family do at all times and Conrad's wife Aggie (Famke Janssen) is particularly vulnerable as she's bedridden with a broken leg.Michael Douglas is typically polished as an ordinary professional man who loves his family and then becomes desperate and fearful when his daughter's life is threatened and he's given an absurdly tight deadline within which to meet the criminals' unreasonable demands.Britanny Murphy is fantastic as the mentally disturbed teenager with a history of having violent outbursts and patterns of behaviour that have puzzled the professionals for some years. The power and intensity that she brings to the part is surprisingly strong and believable and makes her performance one that's definitely not to be missed.
