Review of Tell No One (2006) by Bill C — 10 Sep 2010

If I really didn?t think about it it could be 90. It?s a poor comparison but it?s a much better version of The Fugitive. The story build kind of slow with excellent character development. My only fault and it may be knit-picking with the movie is the main character Alexandre Beck is just a little too good to be believable.

All the other character in the movie have their own flaws and he find them as the movie unravels. Keep good mental notes on who is who in the movie almost everyone has there own role later in the main plot.

This movie caught my Eye because of Kirsten Scott Thomas and François Berléand François Berléand plays the understated inspector in the transporter movies and in this movie also. As the rest of the police force is rushing around he methodically tracks down the clues.

Kirsten Scott Thomas plays Alexandre?s sister lesbian significant other. I do not know if I missed it read the subtitles but I could not figure her relationship to the main character until 2/3 of the way through the movie when Anne Beck (sister) and her are talking after a nude Thomas get out of the shower.

Sorry to say it is shot so Anne is in the way of Thomas. Credit to the director for portraying lesbians as real characters instead of snesational plot items. Not really sure it was a 4-1/2 star movie, It may be that I would like to see something original and my cultural lens makes this seem original.

I watched the subtitled version online and would recommend the dubbed version, the story is too subtle and fast moving in parts to do it justice reading and watching at the same time.
