Review of Tell No One (2006) by Jonah O — 22 Oct 2011
What I enjoy most about this film each time I've watch it, is how the thrill and curiosity keeping your attention obedient is made so much more convincing by the emotion the two lead characters have as lovers. Not to get all mushy, but its a brilliant thing when the acting and situation, in which its placed is so well played and paced that your heart bleeds for the couple. The action and tension as I see it is only doable because of how deeply you are made to feel for the poor sod (Alex Beck) that is being put through it all.
This has some heavy shades of Hitchcock classics and that gives good reason to re-watch it more and more. That's partially why it grabs me actually, it reminds me of old films I enjoy and pulls off that mysterious "have you figured it out" vibe beautifully. Sadly that also means a mild amount of "haven't I seen this film". There is also some similarity to the Fugitive however for the reason I have already stated and it being a great reminder of the quality that some mysteries lack, I do feel myself thinking somewhat higher of Tell No One, I can at least say if you enjoy any of the mentioned film work then this film will easily please you.
