5/5 A taut thriller
  by Alan A. Elsner (Washington DC)
This tense French thriller kept me riveted.
Alex, a doctor, suffers a terrible tragedy when his wife is murdered at a lake where they had been skinny-dipping at twilight. Alex himself was beaten unconscious and the crime was attributed to a known serial killer.
Now, eight years later, Alex receives a mysterious email suggesting his wife, Margot, is alive after all. And the police have dug up two bodies on his property suggesting they got the wrong man for the murder. They reopen their investigation -- with Alex as the prime suspect.
To say too much more would be to give away a tightly-constructed plot that twists and turns unexpectedly, continually keeping the viewer off guard.
One highlight is a superb chase scene -- but instead of the usual highspeed auto chase, this one takes place on foot.
The movie succeeds in painting a hero who is compassionate and sane and irretrievably wounded by the loss of his wife, whom we see was also his childhood sweetheart and the love of his life. Once he gets wind that she may be alive, he's not going to be deterred by anyone or anything in finding her.
We also meet some truly creepy villains.
Highly recommended.

4/5 A VERY SATISFYING FRENCH PUZZLE MOVIE
  by David R. Eastwood (Long Island, NY)
TELL NO ONE (aka NE LE DIS À PERSONNE) is a French film based on a murder mystery by Harlan Coben, an American author. It has a puzzle-plot that plays fair AND has characters that you can care about--which is a very rare combination. If you are paying attention AND are pretty good at judging human nature, you might be able to foresee most of the answers before you are told them. If, on the other hand, you don't care to play that sort of detective game, you can enjoy this film anyway for its French scenery, its good vs. evil story, and the high quality of the acting.

The characters are multi-faceted and varied, the plot is complex and fairly plausible, the main police detective is honorable and intelligent, the main character (a pediatrician suspected of murder, played by Francois Cluzet) is likable and resourceful, the production values are first-rate, and the scene where the chief villain is brought to justice is thoroughly satisfying--as are several other last-minute incidents.

This DVD comes with its original French-language track and a dubbed English-language track (take your choice)--as well as English subtitles.

5/5 I'VE VIEWED THIS FILM THREE TIMES SINCE JUNE '09
  by Roy Clark (Edge of Toiyabe Nat'l Forest, NV)
First time through TNO boggled and fascinated me; I'd never seen a movie which seemed so well done
in every aspect. From script to direction/editing to cinematography to acting, I it superb, smart, stylish and right-on in every aspect.

Second viewing I took notes, dissecting the plot and the visualization of it, watching closely the performances. Not a beat was missed, not a screen moment wasted. Knowing the twists and
flips I just watched it for the components. And thought more of it than the first time.

Today I just watched it because I wanted to see a great movie, virtually a work of art.
It was greater still. Three times with three minds; five-stars each. That's 15 stars in my book.

3/5 Once again...READ THE BOOK...
  by J. Maxwell (Middleton, TN United States)
First of all, let me say that I am a HUGE Harlan Coben fan!!!! Love, love, love his Myron Bolitar series. I was hooked after reading "The Woods" and have read every book he's written. If I had not already read "Tell No One", I would've turned the movie off. I guess it's just not my "cup of tea". I kindly gave three stars, because of Coben's talent for writing. The movie was a little too hard to follow, in my opinion. The book is excellent..love all the twists in the plot and ending. READ THE BOOK....FIND HARLAN COBEN IN THE MOVIE!!!

4/5 Great Movie
  by Lea Garrison
This movie is a little slow at first--but well worth the time invested. It is a really good mystery/thriller.
