It's difficult to enjoy a thriller in which the big reveal is such a clunker, but if there's an exception to that rule, Tell No One might be it.

What are critics saying?
Crisply and competently filmed, Tell No One is an intriguing sample of new-school French cinema at the more commercial end of the spectrum.
It’s Cluzet’s intense performance that makes this genre piece a heart-wrenching experience.
Wall Street Journal by Joe Morgenstern
Thrillers aren't always so thrilling, but Tell No One is -- and absorbing, sometimes perplexing and often stirring as well.
The Hollywood Reporter by Kirk Honeycutt
Spicing up the entire package is a screenplay by Canet and Philippe Lefebvre that bristles with wit and energy.
Though almost laughably intricate in its plotting, this thoroughly Gallic adaptation of Harlan Coben's novel reps an entertaining sophomore outing for thesp-turned-director Guillaume Canet.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Canet and Lefevre pruned subplots and fixed the novel's ending -- it's now merely preposterous rather than patently absurd – but it's the cast that makes the genre clichés feel vivid and even fresh.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
Beautifully written and acted, Tell No One is a labyrinth in which to get deliriously lost.
