Random Thoughts of Mine...

8 years ago, Alex's wife was MURDERED. Today... She e-mailed him.

Earlier this past weekend, I saw the French movie, Tell No One, at a local theatre.

Tell No One is based on the novel by Harlan Coben. It stars François Cluzet as Docteur Alexandre Arnaud 'Alex' Beck; Marie-Josée Croze as Margot Beck; André Dussollier as Jacques Laurentin; Kristin Scott Thomas as Hélène Perkins; François Berléand as Eric Levkowitch; Nathalie Baye as Maître Elysabeth Feldman; Marina Hands as Anne Beck; and Gilles Lellouche as Bruno.

The movie begins with Dr. Alex Beck & his wife Margot together. They go to a lake that Alex's family owns together one day. They spend a fun,loving day together at the lake, when suddenly Margot is attacked. Alex rushes to her aid, but he is knocked out, then wakes up in the hospital to learn that his wife has been murdered. She is believed by some to have been killed by a serial killer who denies taking her life. Alex is still troubled by his wife's death 8 years later. He goes to her parents' house on the anniversary of her death every year. One day, 2 bodies are found near where Margot's corpse was discovered which causes the police to reopen the case. Alex also receives an email from Margot with a video that supposedly shows her alive & to "tell no one." Alex launches his own investigation into his wife's murder. The police were never really satisfied that Margot had been murdered by a serial killer. When new bodies start piling up, they suspect Alex. When evidence ties him to the murders, the police come after him, but he bolts.

I had never heard of the movie before until I read a review of it in the newspaper. I had never read the novel that this movie is based on either. This film is about 125 minutes long with English subtitles. It is very well acted. The action is good, it has some clever plot twists that really make the movie quite interesting. This film is in limited release, so it may be hard to find in your area. If you do find it playing nearby, I recommend Tell No One to you. You will not be disappointed if you do. Below is the trailer for the movie:
