Audience Reviews for Tell No One

  • Jun 21, 2020
    A bit complicated but otherwise a fun flick that could have otherwise been titled "French Fugitive." The chase scenes were especially well done.

    Cool, French thriller. A man and his childhood sweetheart are enjoying a night out but things take a turn for the shit when she randomly disappears. Obviously the man is devastated and still visits her family home years after it happened. So it comes as a bit of a suprise when he gets an e-mail supposedly from his mrs! Cue plenty of suspense and twists as we attempt to find out what happened and who's involved. The ending might drag on a bit but Tell No One is a decent thriller.

    Tell No One is a fantastic French thriller that grabs your attention in the first scene then keeps you on the edge of your seat until the big reveal at the end. The mysterious plot is extraordinarily well-crafted, with absolutely no loose threads or plot holes, and the explanation at the end of the movie clears up any confusion you may have had whilst watching the plot unfold. If you like thrillers and murder mysteries, this is absolutely a must-see.

    Excellent movie. Surprisingly so, in fact. I was expecting it to be good, but since movies like this leave the big revelation for the climax of the movie, I was surprised to see myself completely into the movie from beginning to end. It's an exceptionally well crafted and well paced movie and with solid performances. All in all, I can't really complain about anything in this movie. As mentioned, it's pretty damn great.
