Don't Say A Word (DVD)

Having rented two thoroughly enjoyable films from www.dvdsontap.com, which were the subjects of my last two opinions, I should have suspected that that most unbreakable of legal dictums would finally catch up with me. Hollywood is clearly guilty of producing a huge number of highly forgettable films and the law of averages had decreed that it was my time to rent one. Don’t Say a Word (DSaW) is perhaps more guilty than most of sliding into the mire ...
...Michael Douglas stars as Dr. Nathan Conrad, a gifted psychiatrist who specialises in helping troubled children. He is blessed not only with wealth, but an impossibly beautiful wife in the shapely form of Famke Jansen and the necessary ‘cute-as-a-button’ daughter completes the storybook image. Unfortunately for the film the clichés do not end here. His return for an idyllic family Thanksgiving is interrupted by a call from fellow shrink, the criminally ...

Review of Don't Say A Word (DVD)

I thought Don't Say a Word was an outstanding psychological thriller, it was exciting and mind bending, it really keeps you thinking about what on earth is happening from beginning to end. The basics of this film are as follows: The film is all about the robbery of a $10 million gem where two men ou of the gang take the stone leaving the person in charge of the robbery, Patrick, very angry. The film is actually set 10 years later but include flashbacks ...
...to meet Dr Nathan R Conrad who is a child psychiatrist, he is asked to meet with a teenage patient, Elizabeth. She is a very disturbed person who has very child like qualities. Patrick, having recently been released from prison, and his gang break into an apartment that they use as a base to keep an eye on Dr Conrads wife, Aggie. (she has a broken leg so is stuck in her room) The gang also kidknap the couples daughter, Jessie. This is all done so ...

Review of Don't Say A Word (DVD)

I selected to see this film when I wanted a quite night in with my boyfriend. I was a little reluctant at first as I didn't believe it was my sort of film. However, you can hardly complain when you see the first 15mins, it captivates you in a way you do not expect. I thought the storyline with the young girl was a great way to go... little hints that you do not expect are hidden within the story which to me is great as I am a media student and love ...
