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), famed mystery writer Mort Rainey (Depp) is unexpectedly confronted at his remote lake house by adangerous 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 for some of Hollywood's biggest hits ( Mission: Impossible, Jurassic Park), David Koepp takes on directing duties for the fourth time, relying on a safe bet: the adaptation of a Stephen King short story: Secret Window, Secret Garden. A making-of featurette, 4 deleted scenes, and an animated storyboard complete the DVD. Mort Rainey is a successful mystery writer. But his divorce, coupled with writer's block, leads him to live as a recluse in his cabin deep in the woods. That is, until a man, John Shooter, knocks on his door and accuses him of plagiarism. Effective, Secret Window conscientiously, though at times a bit conventionally, applies the thriller formula by skillfully introducing moments of stress and sharing its main character's anxiety with us. Nevertheless closer 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 on our nerves and benefiting from Johnny Depp's ironic performance and John Turturro's unsettling one, the film also draws a certain aesthetic quality from its bright settings, filmed in the autumn in Quebec. Counting on an unexpected and interesting final twist, Secret Window is one of those perfect films for a fun scare. – Helen Faradji
