A thief played by Sean Bean kidnaps his daughter, demanding that he extract information from Elisabeth about a stolen gemstone.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s only one problem: Elisabeth hasn&#8217;t spoken in 10 years. While he scrambles to communicate through her delusions and pry a code from her memory, it becomes a race against the clock. Meanwhile, his daughter tries to outsmart her kidnappers and a related investigation sends a detective on a collision course with all the chaos. Guy Torry, Jennifer Esposito, Famke Janssen, Skye McCole Bartusiak, and Oliver Platt round out the rest of the cast.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-9e9bb662-7570-47d5-8515-71b879deac30\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" href=\"\" data-url=\"\" target=\"_blank\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"should-you-stream-don-t-say-a-word-on-netflix-3\">Should you stream &#8216;Don&#8217;t Say a Word&#8217; on Netflix?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"03f29a1e-48fa-4b63-ba92-0106184d2506\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:2745px\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:66.78%\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Alamy)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"d88c7ff9-4b7e-474d-aa7a-77c8ee132af5\">Given its 23% critics score on <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/dont_say_a_word\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/dont_say_a_word\" data-hl-processed=\"none\">Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> (and only slightly less-rotten 49% audience score), I was surprised I enjoyed &#8220;Don&#8217;t Say a Word&#8221; as much as I did. It&#8217;s a perfectly fine psychological thriller. Nothing ground-breaking, but enjoyable, though definitely the kind of movie that makes more sense the less you think about it.<\/p>\n<p>Some solid pacing and lead performances all around manage to build enough momentum to keep your attention. One thing&#8217;s for sure, I walked away from it more satisfied than &#8220;The Woman in Cabin 10.&#8221; Critics were lukewarm on &#8220;Don&#8217;t Say a Word&#8221; when it first hit theaters in 2001, but it managed to gross $100 million worldwide with just a $50 million budget.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-f25ZntDbQXNCviWC9Zku5R\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-f25ZntDbQXNCviWC9Zku5R slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\" \/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jane Crowther with the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/films\/2001\/11\/13\/dont_say_a_word_2001_review.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/films\/2001\/11\/13\/dont_say_a_word_2001_review.shtml\" data-hl-processed=\"none\">BBC<\/a> described it as a movie of &#8220;few surprises,&#8221; but with &#8220;a smart script and great casting elevate a pedestrian premise to the status of satisfying thriller.&#8221; Meanwhile, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/culture\/2001\/09\/bitter-vengeance.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-url=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/culture\/2001\/09\/bitter-vengeance.html\" data-hl-processed=\"none\">Slate<\/a> called it &#8220;a big, noisy mess, with a howler at its center&#8221;, and the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/archive\/lifestyle\/2001\/12\/07\/film-capsulescapsule-reviews\/b00b85fe-6ca1-477e-86fa-df16171c47c8\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/archive\/lifestyle\/2001\/12\/07\/film-capsulescapsule-reviews\/b00b85fe-6ca1-477e-86fa-df16171c47c8\/\" data-hl-processed=\"none\">Washington Post<\/a> said it was &#8220;every bit as predictable, shopworn and unappetizing as its premise suggests&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>So should you stream &#8220;Don&#8217;t Say a Word&#8221; now that it&#8217;s on Netflix?
