Review of Secret Window (2004) by Mare Q — 07 Jan 2010

SUMMARY.

Psychological thriller starring Johnny Depp, John Turturro, Maria Bello and Timothy Hutton. based on the novella Secret Window, Secret Garden by Stephen King. directed by David Koepp.

After finding his wife in bed with another man, writer Mort Rainey (Depp) wants nothing more than to just be left alone. enter John Shooter (Turturro), a man claiming that Rainey stole his idea for one of his novels.

MY TAKE.

What happens when you cross my favorite actor with a movie based on a novella by my favorite writer? one of my favorite movies of all-time of course! to say that I love this film is an understatement. the writing is fantastic and the acting is amazing. Depp once again dives deep into character, becoming the broken individual that is Mort Rainey.

I love Mort. he is my favorite fictional character of all-time and I must say, I am somewhat envious of his life. I, too, would love to live in a bathrobe, in a cabin by a beautiful lake, working on my writing, eating corn all day. xD.

One of Depp's finest performances. this is the reason why I love this man so. he is one of the best actors of our time. period.

Simply perfection. ♥.
