Secret Window

Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp) is a writer having trouble coming up with an idea. Finally, he comes up with something. The only problem is, a stranger named Shooter (John Turturro) accuses Mort of plagiarism. Naturally, Mort wants to prove himself innocent - but then, that's where the movie becomes apparent as a Stephen King story. You may never trust yourself again after seeing this movie. Movies like "Secret Window" (as well as "Edward Scissorhands", "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", "Ed Wood", "Sleepy Hollow", "Chocolat", "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", "Finding Neverland" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory") show why Johnny Depp may be the most interesting actor of his generation. Maybe anyone could have given Mort the mannerisms that he exhibits, but Depp puts his usual impressive spin on it. After watching this movie, you may want to think twice before even attempting to write anything.

Loved the setting, loved the plot, loved the acting... but there's something missing here. Something holding it back. I'm not quite sure what it is, but this could have been a lot better. Still, it's no slouch and I wouldn't advise skipping. Definitely above average and worth trying out.

This movie should be paying huge debts to much better psychological thrillers like PSYCHO or MISERY (coincidentally, the latter is another Stephen King book adaptation), but nevertheless, SECRET WINDOW is creepy, disturbing and haunting. Not to mention it benefits from a strong performance from Johnny Depp.

Mort Rainey, a successful writer received an unwanted visitor one day, Mr Shooter, who accuses him of plagiarism, Mort's life spirals out if control. I have to be honest, I absolutely loved it, I'd class it as a real classic, it had a touch of everything, horror, thriller, psychological drama, I thought it was great. 'The only thing that matters is the ending.' Never a truer word has been spoken, it built and built, it developed pace and momentum, and peaked with a tremendous conclusion, the best bit of the film. Johnny Depp, what can you say, absolutely incredible here, he's outstanding. I loved it, 9/10.
