Amazon.co.uk Review iTell No One/i is that rare thing, a French thriller that bears all the hallmarks of a Hollywood remake, only with the French left in. There's no actual time to ponder the glossy look and feel though, as François Cluzet's stoic but grief-stricken widower Alex races to clear his name, when the case of his wife's murder is reopened after eight years. This set up is wound even tighter upon his receipt of an email, seemingly from his wife, instructing him to follow those titular instructions. p What follows is a nerve-tugging chase movie - making best possible use of Harlan Coben's source material - as Alex ducks and weaves between shady underworld goons, a gang of surprisingly helpful thugs and two laid back detectives, all of whom help raise the game of cat and mouse to dizzying heights. The twists and turns are many, and even though the story is a little too long, and its reveal steeped in a Miss Marple-sized helping of exposition, the film's emotional centre remains intact to the very last scene. While a big studio remake of Tell No One won't be short on A-List appeal and big noisy action, matching this film's mix of thrills and heart will be a rare feat indeed. --iLuke Mawson/i

A perfect adaption of a great novel September 12, 2007 KM (England) 135 out of 142 found this review helpful
'Tell No One' (called 'Ne le dis à personne' in France) is the French film adaption of the bestselling stand-alone novel from Harlan Coben. The film begins when Alex Beck and his wife and long-time love, Margot visit the Beck family lake house for their 13th anniversary. During a late night swim in the lake Alex and Margot are attacked and left for dead. A few days later Margot's beaten body is found.
br /Eight years later and still struck with grief and heartache from the death of his wife, Alex receives a mysterious e-mail with a link to a webcam where his wife appears to still be alive. The email instructs him to Tell No One, leaving Alex wondering if his wife is still alive and he is now also a main suspect for some other bodies found at the lake and possibly also for his wife's apparent murder.

br /This is an excellent adaption of one of the best thrillers I've ever read and the French setting does not affect the story at all (the book is based in America), in fact it makes it better. The subtitles did put me off at first but once I was 10 minutes or so into the film I didn't even notice they were there. There's lots of plot twists and plenty of action and suspense. The characters are all played perfectly to the book's counterparts and the story is absolutely spot-on. My only disappointment really was that because I had read the book I already knew what was going to happen next.
br /
br /Overall this is a perfect adaptation and is one that both fans of the book and thriller movie fans too should love. Highly recommended.
Tell No-One August 4, 2007 Mr. Julian A. Goode (Essex, UK) 21 out of 25 found this review helpful
Simply a great thriller. Intriguing, a captivating plot, plenty of twists, and even a few laughs on the way too. A great example of French cinema at its best
Fantastic movie ! August 1, 2007 Sylvie (UK) 29 out of 35 found this review helpful
I just saw this French movie down my local cinema ... and I was just blown away. This film was amazing. There isn't one dull moment ... this movie takes you on a mad journey where a widow just found out that his wife is not dead after all.
br /Adepts of French movies will notice some classic actors actresses in this movie, such as Nathalie Baye, Jean Rochefort, Andre Dussolier (the narrator in "Amelie").
br /I just found out that this film was adapted from the book of the same name by Harlan Coben. I am now curious to read other books from that writer.
br /
br /Don't miss this film. It might be the best thriller of 2007.
This has got to be one of the best films in a long time June 28, 2007 Edgar Allen (UK) 22 out of 27 found this review helpful
Don't be put off by the fact that this film is in French with subtitles. This actually adds to the enjoyment and means you don't miss any of the dialogue. This is an excellently produced thriller that will have you in complete suspense from the opening shots to the very end. Clever and thought provoking.

br /A couple are revisiting their holiday home by Lake Charmaine for the 13th time. After enjoying a night swim, Elizabeth swims back to shore, and disappears, after David hears her screams...... Eight years later David receives an email which sets him on a desperate mission. He soon finds himself running from trusted friends and family, and being hunted down.... Enjoy!
Tell Everyone - One Of The Thrillers Of The Year November 12, 2007 Ian Paterson (Newcastle Uk) 11 out of 13 found this review helpful
As a big fan of Harlan Coben it has always amazed me that Hollywood haven't beaten down his door demanding the rights to his stand alone novels.
br /They seem tailormade for the big screen with twists and turns galore and beliveable characters no James Bond heroics in his novels just ordinary people finding themselves in danger.
br /
br /So it was a surprise to see that this had been made as a French film. Please don't let this put you off or you will have missed out on one of the thrillers of the year.
br /
br /The sub titles aren't too fast so you'll easily follow the complex story. Dr Beck' swife is taken whilst swimming by the lake late one night 8 years later he is stuggling to get on with his life when he is sent an email of an outside web cam suddenly his "dead" wide is looking at him down the lens ...
br /
br /Great casting and as someone who read the book when it first came out I had happily forgotten exactly what happened but as the story came back it was pleasing to see that they had been faithfull to the great book.
br /At around the 2 hour mark I greatly enjoyed the pacing of the novel there didn't seem the need to have something dramatic happening every two minutes the violence was kept to a minimum but brutal when it needs to be. Loved some scenes with music from U2 amongst others featuring maybe focusing on the subtitles made me more aware of the music.
br /
br /I confess I haven't seen many foreign films and had I not read the book I would probably have never contemplated renting the film glad I did and so will you.
