A funny mean streak runs through the promising coming-of-age thriller Don't Tell a Soul.

As for Wilson, he fits effortlessly into this equation as the proxy father upon whom Matt can inflict his one sense of revenge against his late dad, and in whom Joey finds something like parental approval.

With every pout, Whitehead seems to puff with pride, as if to say "Here I reveal yet another terrible aspect of the American Character."

3/5

I was never bored and underwhelmed, nor did I feel certain events were foreseeable. Alex McAulay‘s feature debut as a director largely functions as a nimble and fair thriller, but there’s some heart to the story, as well.

What could have gone down as a potential genre game-changer instead becomes merely an entertaining diversion, and nothing more. There are certainly worse things to be.

Completely underrated the acting is out standing especially from actor Jack-Dylan Grazer who has grown so much in this roll the story and the plots were unpredictable and just exiting to watch

A great thriller staring a great cast! The tension stays high throughout the entire film. It was a great ride never knowing what's coming next!

What did cookie do after Spun? She had two dumb kids. One that is a pansy and makes the worst decisions he could possibly make, and the other is the biggest jerk big brother ever put on film. All to climax as an origin story for the Scranton strangler.
