Don't Say a Word

Pros: Good acting by all the actors. Some great action scenes.
Cons: Some loose ends.

My husband and I were supposed to go see a screening of Big Trouble. When we got to the theater they told us that they were not playing that, but we could go see Don't say a word instead. I had seen the commercials for it, but didn't remember. My husband...

Pros: A few strong performances...
Cons: ...amidst some seriously loopy goings-on.

Borrowing most notably from Ron Howard’s Ransom, John Badham’s Nick of Time and James Mangold’s Girl Interrupted, Don’t Say a Word offers next to nothing in new ideas and would be completely unwatchable were it not for a few...

Pros: Good actors and director.
Cons: No believability, originality or real tension.

This is the kind of movie that I hate watching. It has enough good things, like the cast and the acting, that you want to like it, but the story is full of so many holes and implausible plot twists that it only depresses you.

Michael Douglas,...

Pros: Great cast, fast moving
Cons: Lacks suprises

Pros: Douglas and his ladies.
Cons: Pretty dumb

The new Michael Douglas thriller Don't Say A Word tries it's best to please, and for what it's worth, it's not particularly horrible. Sadly it misses more than it hits; the final result being an unsatisfying film.

The film...

Pros: .
Cons: .

Don't Say A Word was one of those films that I just had to see after seeing the amazing trailer. Unfortunately I missed the chance to see it in theatres but had my curiosity so piqued that I went ahead and made a blind buy. Turns out it wasn't ...

First of all let me say I wasn’t home when the movie started and usually I will not bother when I have missed more than 10 minutes, BUT this...

Pros: Michael Douglas, the acting
Cons: Predictable, unrealistic, the ending was bad

Last night, I popped this DVD into my laptop because I was bored and it was laying around the house. I'm a huge Michael Douglas fan so I thought I would watch it. The movie is based on a book by Andrew Klavan, which I did not read. The movie ...

Pros: The film has a good visual style... and... and... Oh, I give up.
Cons: Completely routine film.

“Don’t Say A Word” strikes me as the film equivalent of a novel by an author who ‘writes’ a book every six months or a year. The books are usually similar and the characters have been changed slightly. They go through the same motions to get to the same...

Pros: Exciting, Suspenseful, Excellent Acting
Cons: over advertised, a few unbelievable scenes.

The only problem with the movie Don't Say A Word is that the previews gave away too much of the story and showed way too many of the good scenes leaving the viewer with only the connection of those scenes to look forward to. There is also a few...

Pros: An interesting premise and beginning
Cons: Everything that happens in the final two-thirds of the movie

Don’t worry Mr. Fleder, I won’t say a word. I’ll say about 700, and most of them won’t be very pleasing to your ears. Your latest effort, the pseudo psychological thriller Don’t Say A Word suffers from the classic problem of having an interesting...

Pros: Slick directing, good acting
Cons: Implausible plot turns into a jumbled mess

When I first heard the plot for Don’t Say a Word, I was skeptical: The young daughter of Manhattan psychiatrist Nathan Conrad (Michael Douglas) is kidnapped, and the only ransom is a six-digit number that resides in the brain of Elisabeth, a disturbed...
