Tell No One

France

Thriller. Taken from a novel by Harlen Coben. This film had all the elements which have become standard...quick-cutting, tight close-ups, car chase...and could have been an entertaining two hours except the plot line was so convoluted and hard-to-follow that I gave up trying to understand what was going on and just waited for it to end.

There was a long exposition scene at the end which wrapped it all up (a la Maltese Falcon) but if you need to do this there's something wrong with your story in the first place.

This came across to me as product.
