- Synopsis
- Though he knows he should be at his computer writing another book, or at least walking his dog along the sparkling lake outside his dingy cabin, successful author Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp) is sleeping on his favorite sofa for up to 16 hours a day. He is in the midst of a painful divorce and everything about the breakup has turned messy and unpleasant. It has sapped his energy and siphoned away his creativity, leaving him with a monumental case of writer's block. Then, when it seems as if things can't get worse, a psychotic stranger named John Shooter (John Turturro) shows up at his doorstep, accuses Rainey of plagiarizing his story and demands satisfaction. Despite Rainey's efforts to placate him, Shooter becomes increasingly insistent and hostile, intimating a twisted sort of justice that could include cold-blooded murder.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The movie telegraphs its intentions too early and relies too much on a single actor, Johnny Depp, to achieve its emotional force"
-
"Koepp sabotages Depp and his surroundings with an ending so atrocious, it callously betrays everything that came before it."
-
"The tricky plot has an interesting payoff, but it's a slow and bumpy ride getting there, and Koepp fares better with special effects than with generating either suspense or interest in the characters."
-
"Unsteadily pitched between horror and comedy, Secret Window turns out to be neither terribly scary nor especially funny."
