Writer Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp) is struggling getting divorced from his wife Amy (Maria Bello) after she cheated with Ted (Timothy Hutton). He's alone in his remote cabin when mysterious stranger John Shooter (John Turturro) shows up. He accuses him of plagiarism and starts threatening him. Sheriff Dave Newsome is nonchalant. Mort hires private investigator Ken Karsch (Charles S. Dutton). He needs an old magazine to prove his case and then somebody burns down his house.
This one is spooky without much intensity. Depp is playing normal and Turturro is doing super creepy southerner. There is obviously a twist coming and it becomes a waiting game for the movie to reveal it. The twist is good enough but it is barely a worthwhile wait.
