Don't Say a Word

In this taut thriller, two twisted criminals upend the life of a New York City psychiatrist when they kidnap his five-year-old daughter.

They’re watching.

They’ve wiretapped the apartment.

They’ve got their daughter.

They told them they’d hurt her if they spoke about it.

They told them, “Don’t say a word . . . ”

Or else . . .

Now a major motion picture starring Michael Douglas, Brittany Murphy, and Sean Bean!
