“Don’t Tell A Soul” (***1/2 out of four) was a striking, sinuous melodrama about two thieving teenage brothers (Fionn Whitehead and Jack Dylan Grazer) who steal money to help their ailing mother (Mena Suvari) who are found out by a security guard (Rainn Wilson) who falls to the bottom of a well; one tries to help him while the other wants to kill him to erase any involvement in their crime but all is not what it seems. Captivating story is complex and intricate and enhanced by a razor-sharp screenplay, Guillermo Garza’s rich and moody cinematography and superb, dynamite acting all across the board. A bullseye effort from writer/director Alex McAulay in his directorial debut.
