Tell No One (R-2006)

"Tell No One" is billed as a "thriller". It is a French film based on an American novel of the same name. As the opens, Dr. Alexandre Beck's (Francois Cruzet) wife is murdered and he is the prime suspect. Fast forward 8 years and Dr. Beck is a free man, cleared of the murder, but when two more bodies are found at the murder site, his guilt is once again called into question. To complicate matters, he has just received an e-mail with a short video clip showing his wife, MargotMarie-Josee Croze (), very much alive. His instructions are to "tell no one" (Hey, that would be a good title!!). While Alexandre tries to determine what is going on and whether his wife is truly alive, his actions make him more and more of a suspect in all of this. While I would not call this film a "thriller" so much, it was a very entertaining mystery. On the DVD, you have the option of watching it in its native French or in English. I chose English, which is dubbed, of course. The plotline is very entertaining, although when the mystery is finally revealed, it is almost too complicated. This is not one that you can piece together as you go along.
