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.

Cluzet's brooding performance propels the movie, and writer-director Guillaume Canet...skillfully orchestrates the cascading revelations.

Tell No One maintains a rewarding balance of genuine emotion and high-tension entertainment. See it and tell everyone.

Tell No One darts its way past all the improbabilities and clichés that weigh down most mysteries, shooting toward a conclusion that's both endearingly old-fashioned and satisfying.

A story of upended love with a mystery that exerts its power till the very end.

The story becomes so convoluted and contrived (pursued by police, Alex just happens to run into a patient's father, who owes the doctor a big favor) that much of the tension dissipates.

It attempts no improvements on the basic suspense formula. It just does everything really well: perfect pacing, lovely camera work, spot-on acting and an ingenious plot.

There will be times you think it's too perplexing, when you're sure you're witnessing loose ends. It has been devised that way, and the director knows what he's doing. Even when it's baffling, it's never boring.

Under the direction of Guillaume Canet, who adapted Harlan Coben's English-language best seller with Philippe Lefebvre, this is a splendid ensemble doing its level best to keep the audience guessing all the way through an increasingly knotty narrative.

I haven’t enjoyed so much pleasurably intrigue-laden suspense in ages, and it is charismatically acted, too.

Tell everyone about Tell No One. Not just because this is a top-notch thriller so twisty you may forget to breathe, but because for a long time it looked like you wouldn't be able to tell anyone at all.

Guillaume Canet’s delicious contemporary thriller Tell No One is Vertigo meets The Fugitive by way of The Big Sleep. That is meant as high praise.

Thrillers aren't always so thrilling, but Tell No One is -- and absorbing, sometimes perplexing and often stirring as well.
