Secret Window (2004)
7/10
Ending Is The Most Important Part of the Story
9 January 2005
Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp) is a lonely successful writer is a process of divorce of his wife Amy (Maria Bello), who is living with the new mate Ted Milner (Timothy Hutton). The life of Mort changes when he is accused by the Mississippi redneck John Shooter (John Turturo) of plagiarizing his tale "Secret Window". Shooter threatens Mort and his friends, in a story with a surprising end. "Secret Window" is a movie where the characters are slowly well-developed, but with a great conclusion. Unfortunately the darker conclusive last scene was deleted, and there is no explanation for such procedure. It seems that the director forgot that ending is the most important part of the story. Anyway, this movie is a worthwhile entertainment. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "A Janela Secreta" ("The Secret Window")
