Don't Say a Word (2001)

An average thriller that occasionally thrills but mostly errs. It’s about a resourceful psychiatrist, a troubled girl in his care and a team of bad guys who want something and will go to stupid lengths to get it.
The elaborate set-ups make no sense whatsoever when you apply them to what’s actually going on. There are plot holes all over. How someone in the creative process didn't spot them is a mystery. Perhaps while looking they fell into a sizeable one and were never heard from again?
Brittany Murphy does well with what she's given. It co-stars Sean Bean, so you get to add value by playing the Does Sean Die? game.
