Tell Everyone...who enjoys a good mystery thriller film. Guillaume Canet has made a well-directed, atmospheric, slightly edgy translation of Harlan Coben's novel into a French setting, assisted by the most evocative soundtrack. Tell Everyone...who enjoys a good mystery thriller film. Guillaume Canet has made a well-directed, atmospheric, slightly edgy translation of Harlan Coben's novel into a French setting, assisted by the most evocative soundtrack. Coben's novels take sometimes incredulous turns, and Tell No One is not one of his best. Still, the production's skill makes Tell No One worth watching. The star, Francois Cluzet, is brilliant, perfect as the confused, hopeful, desperate and despondent husband who does not know with what dangerous entanglements he is involved. Expand

A deep film; deeply plotted and deeply felt, brilliantly acted and intensely memorable: I thought about half a sleepless night. It reminded me of that best of noir films, Out of the Past

A first rate French thriller based on one of the most entertaining American novels I've ever picked up. Packs an emotional wallop and some big Bourne-esque action.

If you went in looking for a thriller and weren't completely satisfied, there's something wrong with you.

Good start, great chase scenes, decent music...but the all-powerful Dick Cheney as the explanation for everyone's crazy behavior (why doesnt the 'dead' wife ever phone her husband in 8 years???) makes Chinatown seem like a Good start, great chase scenes, decent music...but the all-powerful Dick Cheney as the explanation for everyone's crazy behavior (why doesnt the 'dead' wife ever phone her husband in 8 years???) makes Chinatown seem like a sitcom. Hell, it makes The Usual Suspects a model of thrifty exposition. Hard not to giggle as the policeman/father's explanation twists & turns & gets more & more knotted up; and BE WARNED: this will only get worse when they remake it in Hollywood. Expand

Solid mystery thriller from French, and the French excel at that genre. Well acted, suspenseful and most always interesting. It does go on a bit long, but otherwise it's a fine film. Good score and cinematography.

no one can make American noir like the French - this is an excellent movie with a killer soundtrack....."lost myself on a cool dark night".

Complex and exciting, even if not completely plausible. Certainly sets your heart to racing. You really need to pay attention and even then, hard to grasp. Not a boring moment. Nice musical score.

Don't understand some of the low scores for this film. I thought it was one of the better ones I saw this summer. I never felt it was too long, and I was captivated through the entire film.

Eric L. is a bit harsh. I'm not a lifelong left-winger and so didn't find the smug, pretentious leftist cant that annoying. It comes with the territory in French cinema.

It comes with the territory in French cinema. I did, however, find my jaw hitting the floor that a movie can be so engaging and fun for 1:45 and then spend its final 15 minutes staggering me with how it has transformed into a third-rate miniseries or a Lifetime Original soap opera. I liked nearly all of it; however, be forewarned about the climax and denouement. If you have a brain you will feel completely insulted. Expand

A very well-crafted film that slowly unfolds the complex situation behind the central premise. I loved the soundtrack. It is also very French, so keep that in mind for cultural differences.
