Review of Tell No One (2006) by Josh M — 30 May 2009
A great reviews on this one are kind of baffling me, and I can't help but feel that it's a little bit of snootiness afoot; honestly, if this were in English and had an American cast, it would be viewed as a perfectly serviceable, unremarkable thriller like The General's Daughter and its ilk, and quickly forgotten about.
Instead, it seems to have attracted a lot of praise, and as an avid thriller watcher, I'm a little baffled. Sure, the premise is great, but the characters are wafer-thin, the plot points to be filled a little obvious, and the movie needs to be about thirty minutes longer (a rare feat indeed!) for the final revelations to really have the impact that the movie seems to want them to.
It's not that it's an actively bad film, but it's really only passable; look beyond the language barriers and you'll find a pretty generic movie.
