Canet has a good feeling for lowlife atmosphere and he works up a few fine Hitchcockian twirls.

Reviews for Tell No One
Although it might make your head spin, this case of Vertigo in cyberspace keeps us spellbound.
10/18/08
An absorbing thriller, one that works its narrative complications over a genuinely moving emotional foundation and is spiked with just enough dark humor to keep it from becoming overly serious.
10/18/08
...the pleasures here are more visceral than cerebral or emotional. It's really more of a thrill ride than the sort of art-house talkie you might expect
10/17/08
As brisk as things become, clarity wins out, as the hand-held camerawork Bourne for many a chase sequence has no place here.
10/11/08
This is one of the most intelligent, satisfying, beautifully plotted adrenalin boosts you're ever likely to experience at the movies.
09/26/08
Tell No One is a thoroughly absorbing whodunit with more twists and switchbacks than the Le Mans racecourse.
09/26/08
A well-paced journey through knotty conspiracies and ever-shifting alliances, executed with great style and grace.
09/26/08
A whodunit so nicely crafted that you're tempted to forgive the Byzantine plot -- hell, you're even tempted to pretend you actually understand its twisting obscurities.
09/26/08
The French thriller Tell No One shows Hollywood how to make a knotty mystery that's both logical and deeply satisfying.
09/07/08
Canet stages some breakneck chases, particularly one where Alex crosses a busy freeway, and corrals an array of fascinating characters to populate this twisty but entirely logical plot.
09/05/08
It's a potboiler -- not groundbreaking or brilliant, but solidly entertaining.
09/02/08
Tell No One is a French action thriller and murder mystery that doesn't cheat.
08/28/08
A stylish, commercial, tautly paced thriller.
08/28/08
Constructed like a calling card for Hollywood employment, as when a montage of funeral and wedding memories is underscored with 'Lilac Wine' by Jeff Buckley.
08/25/08
Sews us tightly into a story that not only challenges the brain but engages the heart.
08/22/08
It has a terrific setup that keeps us interested (it's based on a well-regarded novel by Harlan Coben), and there's at least one really great, thrilling action scene that makes the whole thing watchable.
08/22/08
[An] engaging, well-acted French thriller based on a novel by American writer Harlan Coben.
08/22/08
A wonderfully entertaining, occasionally very funny, always involving thriller that never insults your intelligence.
08/13/08
Feels like an episode of The Fugitive turned more darkly into The Big Sleep.
