Editorial Review:

Tell No One is that rare thing, a French thriller that bears all the hallmarks of a Hollywood remake, only with the French left in. There's no actual time to ponder the glossy look and feel though, as François Cluzet's stoic but grief-stricken widower Alex races to clear his name, when the case of his wife's murder is reopened after eight years. This set up is wound even tighter upon his receipt of an email, seemingly from his wife, instructing him to follow those titular instructions.

What follows is a nerve-tugging chase movie - making best possible use of Harlan Coben's source material - as Alex ducks and weaves between shady underworld goons, a gang of surprisingly helpful thugs and two laid back detectives, all of whom help raise the game of cat and mouse to dizzying heights. The twists and turns are many, and even though the story is a little too long, and its reveal steeped in a Miss Marple-sized helping of exposition, the film's emotional centre remains intact to the very last scene. While a big studio remake of Tell No One won't be short on A-List appeal and big noisy action, matching this film's mix of thrills and heart will be a rare feat indeed. --Luke Mawson

• Not as gory or explosive as U.S style but it's much more interesting!
  The combination of humanity/romantic side that Guillaume Canet brought to this movie brought me to tear at the end. It's true it's slow-pace compared to a typical thriler made in U.S. this adaptation is better and the country scenes in France are so beatifully shot here.
  The slight change in a detail from the book resulting to the ending so touching it may bring tears to yours eyes (It did to me). (I don't want to spoil the film plot here.)
  I didn't read the book BEFORE watching the film so... more info

• Absolute Belter
  Premise: man's wife murdered, he gets beaten to pulp and left for dead...eight years later he gets an email. Cue plot twists galore.
  I loved this, I know some people want total realism or total adherence to the book, but I am always willing to let that slide in favour of a decent film. I think that this is a belter. If this were made in America it would have been terrible but the French setting is great.
  The good - I thought the plot was always intriguing and I was never bored, the twists were... more info

• Exhausted after watching this!
  Wow, frenetic or what - had to watch it a couple of times just to work it out. I haven't read the book so I can't compare the two. I thought it was a good film but I can see there are problems with the pacing and it seemed disjointed at times. Worth watching especially if you are trying to improve your French or just to ignore the imperfections and enjoy it!

• An engrossing thriller
  This film obviously has raised mixed reactions to judge by earlier reviewers. I enjoyed it as a thriller full of pace with many twists and turns in the plot: it reminded me of Robert Goddard's books. The film is so full of surprises that I wasn't always sure who were the goodies and baddies. You think all is explained by the end and then there's a further twist.
