This psychological thriller from screenwriter
Patrick Smith Kelly reunites him with his
A Perfect Murder (1998) star
Michael Douglas.
Dr. Nathan Conrad (
Douglas) is a respected adolescent therapist faced with a nightmarish scenario when his young daughter (
Skye McCole Bartusiak) is snatched by
Koster (
Sean Bean), a criminal with a talent for high-tech surveillance.
Conrad learns that the kidnapper is desperate for a critical piece of information known only to
Elisabeth Burrows (
Brittany Murphy), one of his catatonic pro bono patients. While his wife
Aggie (
Famke Janssen) remains at home, bedridden due to a broken leg,
Conrad races to unlock the secret stored in
Elisabeth's fractured mind, while a New York City detective (
Jennifer Esposito) inches closer to discovering the Conrads' dilemma.
Don't Say a Word co-stars
Oliver Platt and
Guy Torry and is directed by
Gary Fleder, who follows up his suspense smash
Kiss the Girls (1997).
