At 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, One of the Greatest Hitchcockian Thrillers of the 21st Century Is Waiting for You on Prime Video

A 93% Rotten Tomatoes score is no mean feat, nor is it an accident. Tell No One, a 2006 French-language thriller directed by Guillaume Canet, earns every bit of this acclaim — and it's now available to stream on Prime Video. It’s a film that evokes the spirit of Alfred Hitchcock in its 21st-century aesthetic. Following in the footsteps that gave us suspense masterpieces, Tell No One thrives on tension, intricate direction, and its ability to immerse you in the terror of its protagonist, who, like in Hitchcock’s pictures, is an ordinary guy being hunted for a crime he didn’t commit. A classic “wrong-man” movie we’ve seen before with Hitchcock’s The Wrong Man and other film noirs from the Golden Age of Hollywood, Canet’s film updates its Hitchcockian tropes for the age of digital paranoia, with modern tech like CCTV and cybercafés grounding the story in the present day. A loose adaptation of Harlan Coben’s novel, Tell No One is a smartly crafted thriller that pulls you in and tightens its hold one twist at a time.
