Hammerman Ikon Film Guide

The Secret Window
2004

Director: David Koepp
Cast: Johnny Depp, John Turturro, Maria Bello, Timothy Hutton, Charles S. Dutton

Another Stephen King story about a deeply troubled writer. This time the tormentor is a fellow scribe who accuses our hermit-like novelist of plagiarism. Johnny Depp is an amusing sight in his tousled hair and torn up bathrobe, but the story is predictable, implausible and paralysingly boring.
