Canet has a good feeling for lowlife atmosphere and he works up a few fine Hitchcockian twirls.
Tell No One is a thoroughly absorbing whodunit with more twists and switchbacks than the Le Mans racecourse.
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.
Tell No One is a French action thriller and murder mystery that doesn't cheat.
These classy people are put to the trashiest ends, and, for the most part, it's a pleasure to see them rooting around in the garbage.
Tell No One is a classic modern-Hollywood thriller, a movie with a layered murder mystery, a frame-up, gangsters, conspiracies and one dazzling chase.
Until an exposition flood so mammoth it has cresting waves, "Tell No One" is as eloquent as it is intricate - a superior depiction of crime, corruption, shame and secrecy. A French-language "Fugitive" with wind-sprint intensity and immediacy.
This twisty yarn is meant to leave you as discombobulated as its hero, an innocent man on the run from cops, thugs and killers. Hitchcock would have liked seeing him squirm.
Canet has covered his bases with enough swooping camerawork, narrative smoke-and-mirrors, and quick-sketched supporting characters for a dozen thrillers
Tell No One has shades of Hitchcock's Vertigo -- and not to its detriment. [An] extremely gripping and fascinating suspense film.
Watch The Fugitive and Tell No One and you'll get a pretty good sense of what separates French filmmaking from Hollywood.
Tell No One is the sum of its engrossing characters and brilliant actors. They may not always add up, but they are a formidable equation. Tell No One is a memorable thriller -- a potent experience in a universal film genre.
An over-plotted, two-hour crime caper offering those blessed with patience a denouement well worth the wait."
Initially complex, the piece's grip loosens with the introduction of a transparent villain, but it remains an entertaining thriller bolstered by Cluzet's appropriately angst-driven performance.
Easily one of the best films of the year.
By and large, Tell No One is more interested in telling a knotty story than pondering its meaning, but in those rare deeper moments, Canet evokes how a tragedy can gather around a man and linger there, like a cloud of gnats.
Although it might make your head spin, this case of Vertigo in cyberspace keeps us spellbound.
A good little French thriller based on a novel by Harlan Coben. A doctor whose wife was brutally murdered eight years before receives an e-mail purporting to have been sent by the dead woman herself. Meanwhile, the police have reopened the case in the light of fresh evidence, all of which - unfortunately for him -

Sometimes, Ne le Dis à Personne should have chosen to go for the drama instead of so much thriller, or the opposite. But it had to chose and it remained uneven between both. Both sides still worked and made of it all a great movie that deserved all the recognition,
