So you are looking for an inoffensive thriller... with some degree of mental challenge...

Victor Khomenko

Consider this your lucky day and rent Tell No One.

The French film is long (over two hours) and rather pleasant, making it a fine family viewing... except perhaps for one shot.

If you are used to Bourne types of action thrillers, then you will be disappointed. There is no endless, relentless split-second action that typifies American films of that genre. Tell No One is more in the tradition of Georges Simenon, if you know what I mean.

There are brief periods of "activity", followed by real-time-speed conversations, thinking, doubts, analysis and all that other insignificant crap that films like Bourne so cheerfully dispense with... why waste valuable screen time on emotions and bergmanesque nagging and kvetching, when you can have bullets flying and fuel exploding?

Overall, a rather good thriller, that will keep you if not on the edge of your chair, then at least wondering what the heck happened and who did it.

I put it into "Light Entertainment" bin - Victor Khomenko 13:48:02 04/26/10 (2)

Yup, very light. I went into it having heard how "terrific" it was. It wasn't. :-) nt - tinear 08:01:28 04/28/10 (0)
