Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp) is a writer having trouble coming up with an idea. Finally, he comes up with something. The only problem is, a stranger named Shooter (John Turturro) accuses Mort of plagiarism. Naturally, Mort wants to prove himself innocent - but then, that's where the movie becomes apparent as a Stephen King story. You may never trust yourself again after seeing this movie.
Movies like "Secret Window" (as well as "Edward Scissorhands", "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", "Ed Wood", "Sleepy Hollow", "Chocolat", "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", "Finding Neverland" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory") show why Johnny Depp may be the most interesting actor of his generation. Maybe anyone could have given Mort the mannerisms that he exhibits, but Depp puts his usual impressive spin on it. After watching this movie, you may want to think twice before even attempting to write anything.
