DVD Reviews of Tell No OneDVD Review: A taut thriller Summary: 5 StarsThis tense French thriller kept me riveted.
Alex, a doctor, suffers a terrible tragedy when his wife is murdered at a lake where they had been skinny-dipping at twilight. Alex himself was beaten unconscious and the crime was attributed to a known serial killer.
Now, eight years later, Alex receives a mysterious email suggesting his wife, Margot, is alive after all. And the police have dug up two bodies on his property suggesting they got the wrong man for the murder. They reopen their investigation -- with Alex as the prime suspect.
To say too much more would be to give away a tightly-constructed plot that twists and turns unexpectedly, continually keeping the viewer off guard.
One highlight is a superb chase scene -- but instead of the usual highspeed auto chase, this one takes place on foot.
The movie succeeds in painting a hero who is compassionate and sane and irretrievably wounded by the loss of his wife, whom we see was also his childhood sweetheart and the love of his life. Once he gets wind that she may be alive, he's not going to be deterred by anyone or anything in finding her.
We also meet some truly creepy villains.
Highly recommended.
DVD Review: A VERY SATISFYING FRENCH PUZZLE MOVIE Summary: 4 StarsTELL NO ONE (aka NE LE DIS ? PERSONNE) is a French film based on a murder mystery by Harlan Coben, an American author. It has a puzzle-plot that plays fair AND has characters that you can care about--which is a very rare combination. If you are paying attention AND are pretty good at judging human nature, you might be able to foresee most of the answers before you are told them. If, on the other hand, you don't care to play that sort of detective game, you can enjoy this film anyway for its French scenery, its good vs. evil story, and the high quality of the acting.
The characters are multi-faceted and varied, the plot is complex and fairly plausible, the main police detective is honorable and intelligent, the main character (a pediatrician suspected of murder, played by Francois Cluzet) is likable and resourceful, the production values are first-rate, and the scene where the chief villain is brought to justice is thoroughly satisfying--as are several other last-minute incidents.
This DVD comes with its original French-language track and a dubbed English-language track (take your choice)--as well as English subtitles.
DVD Review: I'VE VIEWED THIS FILM THREE TIMES SINCE JUNE '09 Summary: 5 StarsFirst time through TNO boggled and fascinated me; I'd never seen a movie which seemed so well done
in every aspect. From script to direction/editing to cinematography to acting, I it superb, smart, stylish and right-on in every aspect.
Second viewing I took notes, dissecting the plot and the visualization of it, watching closely the performances. Not a beat was missed, not a screen moment wasted. Knowing the twists and
flips I just watched it for the components. And thought more of it than the first time.
Today I just watched it because I wanted to see a great movie, virtually a work of art.
It was greater still. Three times with three minds; five-stars each. That's 15 stars in my book.
DVD Review: Once again...READ THE BOOK... Summary: 3 StarsFirst of all, let me say that I am a HUGE Harlan Coben fan!!!! Love, love, love his Myron Bolitar series. I was hooked after reading "The Woods" and have read every book he's written. If I had not already read "Tell No One", I would've turned the movie off. I guess it's just not my "cup of tea". I kindly gave three stars, because of Coben's talent for writing. The movie was a little too hard to follow, in my opinion. The book is excellent..love all the twists in the plot and ending. READ THE BOOK....FIND HARLAN COBEN IN THE MOVIE!!!
DVD Review: Great Movie Summary: 4 StarsThis movie is a little slow at first--but well worth the time invested. It is a really good mystery/thriller.

Bonus Features: Deleted Scenes Outtakes English Language Track English Subtitles Based on the book by American author Harvey Coben, this French suspense thriller is one of those exhilarating word-of-mouth gems one can't to tell everyone about. Francois Cluzet stars as Alex, a pediatrician whose beloved wife, Margot (Marie-Josee Croze) was shockingly murdered eight years before. As the anniversary of her death approaches, Alex begins to receive cryptic emails and a video that seems to suggest that she is alive. The discovery of two long-buried bodies at the crime scene turn Alex into some kind of Hitchcockian Everyman, implicated in a crime he could not possibly have committed. But when he makes a mad dash from the police who visit him at his office, he seems to have signed his own confession. This synopsis doesn't even begin to hint at the genuinely exciting and surprising twists, turns, and revelations that await Alex in this Chinese box of a mystery. Brilliantly acted by an ensemble that includes Kristin Scott Thomas and French movie icon Jean Rochefort (Pardon Mon Affaire), Tell No One invites repeat viewings, the better to appreciate the intricacies of its plotting and construction. And if you think you have it figured out, there's this from one character who tells Alex at a climactic point, "Wait, there's more." --Donald Liebenson
