Someone once suggested that I read the book on which this film is based. Back then, though, I wasn't really interested in crime-thrillers so I declined. Now I'm kicking himself.
Don't say a word has a great cast - especially Michael Douglas - and a fabulous storyline. It isn't as suspenseful or thrilling as the genre requires but the story more than makes up for it.
See it.
