Prepare to be chilled, thrilled and mesmerised... seriously gripping stuff
At times Tell Me Something is an incredibly enjoyable thriller. Gruesome in places, well acted and nicely shot. For the rest of its running time however, it fails to raise to the occasion.
The story plods along at times and the characters are nwhere near as engaging as they should be. Which is a shame because there's a neat premise in there somewhere, struggling to break free from its bin liner.
So to speak.
Humdrum serial killer flick. Not as gory as some of the other reviews on this page would have you believe. I telegraphed the identity of the killer within the first 20 mins and you will do likewise. Only the (bizarre) placement of Placebo's excellent 'Without You I'm Nothing' album as an integral plot point gets this a 2 star rating !!
