Summary: Tell No One is based on Harlan Coben's international best-selling thriller about pediatrician Alexandre Beck, who still grieves for his beloved wife Margot Beck, who was murdered eight years earlier. When two bodies are found near the scene of the original crime, the police reopen the case, and Alex becomes a suspect again. The mystery deepens when Alex receives an anonymous e-mail with a link to a video clip that seems to suggest that Margot is somehow still alive and with a message that says "Tell no one."

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly:
(91) Tell No One' plot thickens in about five ways at once, but they'' all connected. The issue of how is a riddle that does more than tease --gives you an itch you won' want to stop scratching.

Michael Sragow
Baltimore Sun:
(91) The title Tell No One recalls the days when ads proclaimed, "No one will be seated after the first 15 minutes" and "Be considerate of your neighbors: Don't give away the ending of this picture." Both rules apply to this canny, refreshingly emotional and intuitive thriller.

Andrew O'Hehir
Salon.com:
(90) Crisply and competently filmed, Tell No One is an intriguing sample of new-school French cinema at the more commercial end of the spectrum.

Stephen Holden
The New York Times:
(90) Beautifully written and acted, Tell No One is a labyrinth in which to get deliriously lost.

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal:
(90) Thrillers aren't always so thrilling, but Tell No One is -- and absorbing, sometimes perplexing and often stirring as well.

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times:
(90) Author Coben, who says he is a fan of "stories that move you, that grab hold of your heart and do not let it go," has gotten a film that does exactly that.
