Don't Tell a Soul

POSITIVES…

  • The setup established in the first sequence is pretty compelling, and drives the rest of the movie from there. 

  • Jack Dylan Grazer is a good lead character as Joey. He is essentially the audience surrogate, and you only hope he does what you would do in his situation

  • Rainn Wilson is excellent in his role as Mr Hamby, and definitely grabs your attention, especially considering the predicament he is in. 

  • Mena Suvari is also pretty solid here in a supporting role. 

  • Plot moves in some unexpected turns to keep your attention. 

  • Speaking of plot turns, the final act does have a rather satisfying twisted development, that's worth watching the whole movie for. 

  • "Desperate men do desperate things."

NEGATIVES…

  • As interesting as the story can be, it's ultimately a rather odd premise that becomes more incredulous as it goes. 

  • Fionn Whitehead's character of Matt is just too hateable. Over the top hateable. 

  • There might just be too many stupid things in this movie, that will frustrate some people. 

  • Introduced some fascinating themes to the story, but doesn't quite take full advantage of fleshing them out. 

  • Cellphones! Seriously?!
