If you saw Mel Gibson and Rene Russo in Ron Howard’s kidnap thriller, “Ransom” you have an idea where “Don’t Say a Word” is headed. The twist here is Michael Douglas’s character is not a multi-millionaire, but a psychiatrist whose daughter gets kidnapped because one if his patients is keeping a secret that certain jewel thieves want to get hold of. Beyond that difference, the suspense is just as intense as “Ransom” and the acting is also very good. There are a couple of interesting plot twists that help keep the audience off balance, but no big “wow’s.” This movie has lots of typical Hollywood ingredients – action, thrills, suspense, some violence and lots of course language. There is virtually no inappropriate sexual behavior, except for a candid camera that peers into the privacy of the Klaven bedroom. Even there, no nudity is shown. Here’s another good movie that would edit nicely into a family-friendly version.
