Description
Based on a Stephen King novella the psychological thriller SECRET WINDOW is reminiscent of an Alfred Hitchcock film. Eccentric author Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp) finds his life spiralling out of control. With a drinking problem and a cigarette habit he cant shake Mort can barely function when his wife (Maria Bello) leaves him and he abandons his work. In the midst of his anguish a deranged man John Shooter (John Turturro) appears at Morts New York cabin claiming that Mort has plagiarized one of his stories. As his wife pushes Mort to finalize their divorce and Shooter systematically destroys his life he struggles to restore order to an increasingly insane situation. BR Playing off of Turturro who is superb as the crazed Gothic Shooter Johnny Depp shines in his role with a quirky brilliant performance. The mannerisms he brings to Mort such as a problem with a clenched jaw makes the authors descent into madness compelling and believable. With an emphasis on character study over special effects the chills provided by this film rely on skilled acting and evoke thrillers of earlier generations like PSYCHO and STRANGERS ON A TRAIN including a shocking twist of an ending.
