"You know, the only thing that matters is the ending"

Johnny Depp is a writer who's going through emotional crisis and is confronted by a stranger, who accuses him of stealing his story and demands him to change the ending. Some of the details of the plot are compromised for the sake of surprise and shock, but the outstanding performance of Depp makes up for any compromises. Watch this movie and try to overlook the simple suspense details and think of the more important questions: If you could go back in time, would you act differently? If you have the power, would you change the ending of certain stories in your life? How torturous is the relationship between you and your conscience, and after all, how outstanding is it to have a talk with your conscience every now and then?

great job Johnny

i really enjoyed this movie. the twist in it is like WHOA!. a must see.

Secret Window... The secret is you have seen this before.

Secret Window: 5 out of 10: I am not going to critique Johnny Depp. He is fine in this movie. And I certainly do not want the great wrath of woman, of various ages, down upon my head. Johnny Depp is a thespian God. He can do no wrong. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory never existed... (God he was awful in that.)

Depps performance is the most entertaining thing is Secret Window. In fact with the exception of a wonderfully drawn Timothy Hutton in a supporting role, it is the only entertaining thing in the movie. The small cast is rounded out by Maria Bello (A 41 year old butterface that plays Depps, cuckolding, bitchy, soon to be ex-wife) and the usually dependable John Turturro who is a disaster.

This is a Stephen King adaption about a writer going over the edge. (If you saw The Dark Half which also starred Timothy Hutton this will definitely feel like familiar ground). The plot is a familiar train wreck. Depp is a writer going through a nasty divorce and suffering from writers block. There is a knock at the door and Turturro is at the door. With a southern drawl and an Amish tailor Turturro claims that Depp stole his story and has to make it right.

Ah plagiarism, that old plot twist standby which many a great horror novel is based on. (Or maybe not). Turtorros character quickly becomes a nasty bit of work as he kills Depps beloved dog with a screwdriver. (This isnt really a plot spoiler. This is a Steven King adaptation, there are no kids in it to kill and the beloved dog might as well have been dressed in a metaphorical red shirt from the first scene.)

This is where the movie officially lost me. Turturro is about as threatening as a Joe Pesci romantic comedy and if his character (named Shooter) killed one of my family members the next time he entered my property he would be renamed shot.

But the movie cannot let Depp kill Shooter... cause of a super secret plot twist so lame and so obvious that its no wonder plagiarism was at the forefront of the writers mind. To add insult to injury the movie actually feels it needs to drop hints at this shocking plot twist apparently under the assumption a portion of the audience sniffs glue for a living and didnt figure it out within 10 minutes of the opening credits.

The only real surprise in the entire film is the strange Children of the Corn references (Turtorros character seems to be clearly channeling Malachi and the last scene is torn right from that mid-eighties classic.)

Perhaps the film is meant to be homage to the fine Children of the Corn series... No greater faint praise could I imagine damning with.

Very Good

This was a very good movie. How could it not be really? It's based on Stephen King and stars Johnny Depp. Speaking of, Johnny Depp did a superb job as always. I can't say I've ever seen a bad Depp flick. It keeps you watching til the end thats for sure. I would definetly recommend it. It earns all five stars in my eyes.

Depp saves the day

"Secret Window, Secret Garden". This is the name of the book written by Stephen King. This is what the movie Secret Window is based on. What makes Secret Window so good is that the casting was very good. Johnny Depp leads the way with an great performance. Without Depp this movie would not be as good.
Overall if you like suspense/thriller movies Secret Window is worth your time.
