All the clues make sense when pieced together -- but only on the surface.

Slick, deliciously complex murder mystery.

Thriller, love story, whodunit; an unwieldy trio made whole by an up-and-coming mastermind.

never comes to grips with its standard-issue plot mechanics, delivering neither the icy thriller that its cool detachment edges towards, nor the pulse-quickening potboiler that its story would seem to demand.

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.

A well-paced journey through knotty conspiracies and ever-shifting alliances, executed with great style and grace.

You'll leave wondering why Hollywood can't seem to make a romantic thriller so simply satisfying.

It feels like an American movie, dubbed in French ... Or perhaps, better put, it feels like a bunch of French people trying to act like Americans.

Tell No One retains all the slick dynamism and tension of a classic Hollywood thriller without ever seeming anything but French.

This is one of the most intelligent, satisfying, beautifully plotted adrenalin boosts you're ever likely to experience at the movies.

An ingenious puzzle driven by the need to recover the central emotional connection of one's life. The author and the auteur captivate the mind with a firm grip on that theme.

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.

A French thriller that teases the intellect, shocks the senses and is sometimes simply too suspenseful for comfort.

This smash-hit French thriller starts slowly -- and builds into a sharp action flick, though an overload of plot twists threatens to bog things down midway through.

Blending the hard-boiled and the innocent with a sly dexterity, this is a riveting piece of filmmaking that never relies on the obvious or the cliché

overpacked...technically proficient and will be sure to delight mystery fans, but despite Cluzet's centering performance, the film moves too fast to engage with the lives at stake.

The sometimes confused story %u2013 with so many players, a who's who checklist is needed to keep things clear %u2013 is aided with the oft-thrilling chases that punctuate the film.
