Details: Product Description Academy Award(r) nominee Johnny Depp (2003 Best Actor, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl) gives his most riveting performance in this action/suspense thriller featuring a top-notchcast including John Turturro, Maria Bello, Academy Award (r) winner Timothy Hutton (1981 Best Supporting Actor, Ordinary People) and Charles S. Dutton. Following a bitter separation from his wife (Bello), famous mystery writer Mort Rainey (Depp) is unexpectedly confronted at his remote lake house by a dangerous stranger named John Shooter (Turturro). Claiming Rainey has plagiarized his short story, the psychotic Shooter demands justice. When Shooter't trust anyone or anything. A shocking psychological thriller from the writer of Panic Room, David Koepp. Amazon.ca Screenwriter of some of Hollywood's greatest hits ( Impossible mission, Jurassic Park), David Koepp is embarking on the production for the fourth time, based on a sure bet: the adaptation of a short story by Stephen King: Secret Window, Secret Garden. A making-of, 4 deleted scenes and an animated storyboard complete the DVD. Mort Rainey is a best-selling crime novelist. But his divorce coupled with a breakdown of inspiration leads him to live recluse in his chalet deep in the woods. Until a man, John Shooter, knocked on his door accusing him of plagiarism. Effective, Secret Window conscientiously applies, but sometimes a little conventionally, the thriller recipe by skillfully introducing a few strokes of stress and sharing with us the anguish of its main character. Closer nonetheless to Misery (Rob Reiner) than to The Shining (Stanley Kubrick), the film explores one of King's most frequent preoccupations: the writer's inner demons. Playing with our nerves and taking advantage of the ironic interpretation of Johnny Depp and the disturbing one of John Turturro, the film also draws a certain aesthetic quality from its luminous decorations, shot in autumnal Quebec. Counting on an unexpected and interesting final twist, Secret Window is one of those movies perfect for playing scare. –Helen Faradji
