Tell No One is a French film about Alexandre Beck (François Cluzet). It starts with him and his wife, Margot (Marie-Josée Croze) on a dock. They get into a small argument and Margot swims away from him onto another dock. You can't see her, but you can hear a scream. Alexandre swims towards her frantically but gets hit in the face with a baseball bat and falls into the ocean unconscious. He has no idea how he got out of the water unconscious, which makes the police suspicious about whether he killed his wife. However, they decide that he is innocent. Eight years later, two dead bodies are found with a baseball bat that has B-positive blood (Alexandre's blood type) on it, and suspicions renew. Also, he gets a mysterious e-mail with a video of Margot (who now looks older) walking in a store, perfectly healthy and alive.
I know, it sounds cliché, and you're right. The first half of the movie is very cliché. But then the second half comes along, and you realize that it is one of the smartest, most unique movies ever. It's incredibly smart and amazing. The acting is fantastic and so is the mind-blowing story, which you soon realize is much more than just a murdered wife from eight years ago. Smart crazy, and suspenseful, this movie, does not cease to amuse. To See: That is the answer.
