Review of Tell No One (2006) by Thom M — 03 Nov 2009
A refreshingly un-Hollywood take on the thriller, featuring a strong cast and a patient direction, Tell no One is enjoyable, even though it tends to be a bit confusing and has got a lot of plotholes. The movie follows the fate of a doctor, very good performance by Cluzet, as he discovers that his wife may still be alive, 8 years after her supposed murder.
The movie criss crosses the stories of various parties involved in the plot, the husband, his attorney, the police, the villains and so on. While we are dropped into a merry guessing game, the movie slowly feeds us with new faces and information.
Yet, there are so many people involved in the scheme, that is can become quite confusing and the movie needs the heavy bunch of 15 minutes to explain what actually happened 8 years ago, this should tell you something.
Unfortunately, despite making sense somewhat, the conclusion is still full of plot holes and very unbelievable, despite being a shocker. Thus, it may be entertaining but it leaves you a bit unsatisfied.
The cast is solid, with Cluzet and the ever-good Scott Thomas crowning the ensemble.
