Well-trussed New York psychiatrist Michael Douglas (as Nathan Conrad) finds his world unraveling, after cute 8-year-old daughter Skye McCole Bartusiak (as Jessie) is kidnapped by psychotic Sean Bean (as Patrick Koster). For ransom, the crooked Mr. Bean wants Mr. Douglas to pry a six-digit number from the disturbed mind of squirrelly patient Brittany Murphy (as Elisabeth Burrows). Douglas wife Famke Jansen (as Aggie) worries from home, due to a broken leg. Somehow, Jennifer Esposito (as Sandra Cassidy) gets herself involved. The film's title advises "Don't Say a Word," when actually, there isn't much to tell. Ms. Murphy is most memorable.
