Don't Tell a Soul

An enjoyable intimate indie thriller. The story focuses on two young brothers who set out to commit a theft and steal ten thousand dollars, but they are caught by a security guard and while fleeing, one of them falls into a ten-meter well and gets trapped. Theft is one thing, letting someone die is another. But would you help someone who would immediately report you? A rather unpleasant situation arises, surprisingly well-handled. There is a very good unexpected twist, it really succeeded and I must also compliment the ending, with another twist within a twist. It's not very suspenseful and definitely not action-packed or brutal, but the film manages with good actors and unexpected turns that elevate it above average. Story****, Action>No, Humor>No, Violence*, Entertainment***, Music***, Visuals***, Atmosphere***, Tension**. 6/10. (16/01/2021)

This had more potential than what we got. It’s a well made and well acted indie thriller about two young brothers who are seen by a security guard after robbing the house of an old lady. In the chase that ensues, the unfortunate guard falls into a well and the brothers sort out what to do with him. Conscience starts gnawing at the younger one and he would like to help him, but the older brother urges him to not give a fuck. The cards are quite well dealt and the tension between the brothers is tangible in the first half, but then come several twists. Some of them are very good, they complicate things further and the outcome of the story could have been anything, except something that feels pretty unrealistic when it comes to the behaviour and motivations of the characters. In short, I didn’t believe those characters would behave like that. (16/01/2021)
