Review of Tell No One (2006) by Richard B — 10 Aug 2010
Absolutely stunning! When I think about this film I just run out of superlatives.
The cinematography brings a gravitas to events and the acting is absolutely top class but these are all peripheral to the storyline.
The central theme is an innocent(?) ordinary man fighting to clear his name, but the strength of the story is that it captivates and keeps the suspense and tension right until the final revelations of how the opening events of the film transpired.
The direction is taught and surefooted. The chase sequence is inventive and at times painful to watch, bringing a realism that is often missing in other action films (I'm looking at you Bourne sequels).
Yes it's a French language film which is hard for some to follow, but it's possible the best movie I've ever seen. Recommended!
