Secret Smile (2005)

"Great cast, led by a menacing David Tennant; nicely shot; carefully directed to build up the suspense." – The Times

"David Tennant was a convincing evil, stalking fantasist... Plotwise, Secret Smile grabbed you by the lapels and dragged you along." – The Guardian

It’s all about control

What’s the worst that can happen when a new romance goes wrong – you end up with a broken heart and put it down to experience? Not when self-styled entrepreneur Brendan Block (David Tennant - Casanova, Blackpool, Doctor Who) is involved. He’s not a man to let go easily – as Miranda Cotton (Kate Ashfield - Shaun of the Dead, Do or Die) finds out in this love and revenge thriller based on the bestselling Nicci French novel. Miranda puts the brief fling behind her, but Brendan is not finished with her yet. Three weeks later, her younger sister Kerry excitedly reveals she has a new boyfriend – Brendan Block.

How far will Block go to get his revenge on Miranda? Convinced that Brendan is involved when people she loves begin turning up dead, Miranda realizes that the only way to beat her manipulative ex-lover is to turn the tables on him. Soon, she finds herself in a terrifying war of nerves with a master of the game. She has to prove he’s a killer and she’s prepared to risk her own life to do it.

Also stars Claire Goose (Waking The Dead, Casualty), John Bowe (Tipping The Velvet, Prime Suspect), Jill Baker (Shakespeare In Love, Perfect Strangers), Susannah Wise (An Ideal Husband), Rory Kinnear (The Second Coming) and Robert Lowe (The Project)

No Secret Here

no secret here...David Tennant is an amazing actor. Equal parts charming and deliciously evil, David pulls this role on like a custom fit suit and strides about with purpose and passion. Plenty of lovely twists and turns to keep a person from getting too comfortable with the story. Your unease builds to a real nail biter of a conclusion that moves you forward on the couch a bit. I was this close to yelling at the screen,'get out of the house you silly girl!'...always a good sign in a movie! June 20, 2008

Fantastic!

David Tennant is absolutely fantastic in this film - completely believable and utterly psychotic (in a kind of good way). He exudes a sort of magnetism throughout the film that sends chills up and down your spine! This is definitely a must-see movie for all David Tennant fans! April 2, 2008
