Guillaume Canet's thriller was released in the U.S. this past weekend, earning rave reviews and strong box office.

by Leo Goldsmith (July 1, 2008) [An indieWIRE review from Reverse Shot .] Guillaume Canet 's " Tell No One " begins with a certain nonchalance that one wouldn't ordinarily expect from a suspense thriller, least of all one that adapts Harlan Coben 's multi-twist mystery plotting with the brio of a distinctly "Bourne"-again action film.
