Summary: Actor-turned-director Guillaume Canet follows up his critically-acclaimed debut MON IDOLE (WHATEVER YOU SAY) with the conspiracy thriller TELL NO ONE. Eight years after his wife's brutal murder, paediatrician Alexandre Beck receives an unsettling email from an anonymous sender. The message contains a link to a video--shot in real-time--of a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to his deceased wife. Could she still be alive? And why does she instruct him to 'tell no one'? Before he has a chance to lift the lid on this mystery, Alexandre finds himself at the centre of a massive cover-up, with the police desperately trying to pin the blame on him for his wife's murder. Like any good thriller, TELL NO ONE packs in plenty of suspense, intrigue, and a general distrust of the authorities. Based on the best-selling novel by Harlan Coben.

Tell No One is that rare thing, a French thriller that bears all the hallmarks of a Hollywood remake, only with the French left in. There's no actual time to ponder the glossy look and feel though, as François Cluzet's stoic but grief-stricken widower Alex races to clear his name, when the case of his wife's murder is reopened after eight years. This set up is wound even tighter upon his receipt of an email, seemingly from his wife, instructing him to follow those titular instructions.

What follows is a nerve-tugging chase movie – making best possible use of Harlan Coben’s source material – as Alex ducks and weaves between shady underworld goons, a gang of surprisingly helpful thugs and two laid back detectives, all of whom help raise the game of cat and mouse to dizzying heights. The twists and turns are many, and even though the story is a little too long, and its reveal steeped in a Miss Marple-sized helping of exposition, the film’s emotional centre remains intact to the very last scene. While a big studio remake of Tell No One won’t be short on A-List appeal and big noisy action, matching this film’s mix of thrills and heart will be a rare feat indeed. --Luke Mawson
