Johnny can't save this movie 
2008-02-07
Though short, Secret Window still felt dragging at times. Its a weird type of movie where nothing really makes sense yet you know exactly what is going to happen less than halfway thru. Nothing is really a surprise here. I don't even know what genre to categorize this film into. Its not a horror nor was it really suspenseful. Its just sort of an annoying and unnecessary film, lacking in charisma and a real plot.

Johnny Depp is just amazing in this film. It shows, yet again his versality in his craft.
Completely derivative ...

... and you've seen this movie's basic premise produced much better elsewhere. "Psycho" anyone? I agree with a previous viewer that Johnny seems to have phoned this performance in ... I think this must've been strictly a paycheck for him. Mr. Depp does have some fine films in his body of work, this just isn't one of them. The funniest thing about this movie ... it was based on a story by Stephen King ... is the tagline throughout, which revolves around the importance of a story having a good ending. Mr. King hasn't produced a good ending to any story he's had a hand in since "The Stand." That's why this film will leave you feeling like you've seen it before, and better.
Great movie but ..... 2008-01-24
This is a great movie but it does not include either spanish audio or spanish subtitles. It stinks.
How could anyone possibly say this movie was even decent? 2008-01-14
First off, I'm a huge Johnny Depp fan. I own the majority of his movies, ranging from Pirates, to Edward Scissorhands, to What's Eating Gilbert Grape. This is probably the worst movie I have ever seen with him in it. None of the characters are likable and the story not only drags but is also predictable. I really wish I just had never seen this movie, not only because it is such a disappointment Johnny Depp actually could be associated with something so horrible, but also because I feel like I was robbed of an hour and a half of my life.

If I hadn't seen that "Secret Window" was adapted from a Stephen King story I wouldn't have been surprised. This flick just smacks of deja vu. It's not bad King but it's not particularly great. The blocked writer in a remote setting with murder and mayhem ensuing is just so familiar. What elevates the film beyond the mundane are game performances by Johnny Depp as the harried writer and John Turturro delivering an inspired turn straight from "Night of the Hunter". Maria Bello looks hot but essentially wasted. Forgettable in the near extreme.
Hollywood does good with this King story.

Johnny Depp, you just have to admire the guy.
He can turn any role into something brilliant.
He certainly did in this movie.
From start to finish, interesting, memorable, fun from start to finish.
The ending really didn't surprise me all that much.
I never read the story, but I've read so much of King's work, I knew what the ending would be halfway through the movie.
Still, it's a clever and twisty movie with the usual knockout performance from Depp.
Recommended.
