Secret Window

Pros: Johnny Depp. Interesting story idea.
Cons: Story isn't the most original. Could be a little slow for some.

I have seen and enjoyed several movies that Johnny Depp has been in over the years, but I never really considered myself a fan until last year. I am now trying to see all of his movies that I’ve missed, and I have added a few of them to my movie ...

Pros: John Turturro, surprisingly good payoff
Cons: Derivative, predictable, Stephen King story, costuming, hair, etc.

"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face" 1 Corinthians 13:12 Secret Window (2004) This movie is based on a story, by Stephen King, that is of the "from hell" genre. Johnny Depp stars as commercial writer Mort ...

Pros: Depp, Turturro, decent surprise ending
Cons: Poor execution of the surprise ending

The opening scene is a close up of Johnny Depp’s face, which made many of the women in the audience, including my wife, take an instant liking to the film. This is Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp) and his thoughts show a confused man arguing with ...

Pros: Um... a few funny or fascinating bits...
Cons: ... all the rest of it... gory, pretty boring, and rather predictable

Secret Window features everyone’s favourite eccentric, Johnny Depp, in the role of Mort Rainey, a successful writer with an unsuccessful personal life. He’s currently undergoing a messy divorce with his wife who he still loves. His life ...

Pros: Depp; kicky ending.
Cons: Too drawn-out and enervating.

Johnny Depp's wry, witty, winning performance is the only real reason to get involved in the maddeningly uninvolving psychological thriller Secret Window. Depp plays Mort Rainey, a best-selling novelist who's experiencing quite the case of ...

Pros: Johnny Depp is, of course, awesome.
Cons: That fake southern accent.

This review is part of the Stephen King Writeoff sponsored by TheUnknown285. Please make sure you stop by each of the participants below for your "King Fix!" The Secret Window is adapted from a novella that King wrote in 1990 for his book Four Past ...

Pros: Johnny Depp
Cons: Predictable; Weak ending; Not much of a thriller

Released to theaters in the late winter of 2004, Secret Window is a film that combines drama and suspense, following a young writer who is accused of plagiarism and is stalked by this person who wishes to seek his own form of justice. Based on a ...

Pros: Nice morbid woodsy atmosphere, Johnny Depp, and an ominous John Turturro.
Cons: The only thing that matters is the ending.

It was quite a pleasure to finally get away from the hectic clusterfreak that has been the last few weeks, and sit in a theater again. Secret Window is one of the few trailers I have seen in recent times that I actually gave a damn about. This ...

Pros: Wonderful acting, tense atmosphere, mystery combined with thriller
Cons: A little slow at times

Employing a paranoia drenched atmosphere, Secret Window combines thriller with mystery interweaving the drama with an expert performance by the much acclaimed Johnny Depp. When Mort Rainey, a renowned author, secludes himself in his forest ...

Pros: Johnny Depp is outstanding, compelling, suspenseful story.
Cons: Few.

Secret Window Suspense Thriller Director - David Koepp (Stir of Echoes, The Trigger Effect) 2004, Rated PG13 for violence, language. 96 minutes Based on the short story Secret Window, Secret Garden by Stephen King. ...

Pros: Neat story. Lots of wild twists. Second half will get you going.
Cons: Depp is not all he thinks-he-is, but he is a good nut in this movie.

While certainly there have been a good number of quite sane writers to grace the world with words of wisdom and tales of most any story an imagination could cook up, but certainly, overall, those who create with words tend to be a rather “off ...

Pros: Great actors, interesting story
Cons: A little predictable, you'll either like it or you just plain won't

My boyfriend surprised me last night by taking me to see Secret Window because it stars my real boyfriend; Johnny Depp, and he knew I'd see it one way or another. I had heard mostly not-so-good things about this movie, and wasn't expecting ...

Pros: Johnny Depp
Cons: .........

Well now. Original storyline? No. Incredible delivery? Yes. I won’t try to blow smoke up your bum, this would be just another Stephen King book brought to the screen in a mildly amusing manner if it wasn’t for Johnny Depp. It’s ...

Pros: Depp and Turturro; vaguely Hitchcockian
Cons: reliance on Stephen King's usual plot devices; poor, poor ending

If David Koepp's SECRET WINDOW seems like Stephen King-by-numbers, that's probably because it is. It will be perpetually ignored, I'd imagine, as another King xerox falling into formation behind 2003's atrocious DREAMCATCHER and forthcoming adaptations ...

Pros: Johnny Depp!
Cons: Weak plotline, lack of character development.

ust when you thought Hollywood's exploitation of Stephen King's mastery of the macabre had run its course, up pops yet another of the writer’s tomes set to film. But Secret Window staring Johnny Depp is not one of Kings most widely know works. ...
