Secret Window

Last time I watched a movie of his he was a pirate and today he was a pitiful divorced loner whose beautiful wife shared her bed with another man. The Secret Window (Review) will not become a cult movie but I didn't sleep either, even though at times it dragged a bit and lacked ideas. The story is about Mort (Johnny Depp) who's just divorced and consequently run into a writers block that turned him into a sloth, the only thing you'd wish upon yourself in the movie. Ok sorry I forgot his wife (Maria Bello). Once upon a time a heavily accented a stranger appears at Mort door and accuses him of plagiarizing a story of his called the secret window. From then onwards a sequence of uncreative accidents start to happen to Mort ending in a pretty predictable ending. The only thing that saves the movie is Depp's performance which highlights the versatility and passion he transmits in his characters. 2.5 / 5 stars.
