Mystery, Thriller.
A stranger visited Mort Rainey and told him that one of his published stories was a copy of his work. Mort was surprised and refused the claim straight up. The man who introduced himself as Shooter from Mississippi slowly started to distress Mort. Mort abode by himself in a cabin in a small town. The indictments of plagiarism by Shooter was an added burn to the already burned out life of Mort. Shooter started following Mort and to make things worse he started stalking him resulting in various material lose for Mort. Shooter later demanded Mort change the climax of the story.
Secret Window is a psychological thriller starring Johnny Depp, Maria Bello and John Turturro. The antagonist role played by Turturro was able to heckle the antagonist in all the ways he could. The small threats evolved and developed into danger games. The cat and mouse game got out of hand at one stage and Mort started to believe that someone who hated Mort was behind these formidable episodes.
The movie follows a promising storyline at first which creates a sense of suspense due to the antagonist role. As the movie moves on, one can detect the glimpses of many other flicks that followed the same hallway years ago. the climax might be a moderate twist for a viewer in 2004. But for a viewer in 2020, the suspense factor is "easy to walk piece of ice" to decipher towards the climax.
That spoiled the whole movie for me. But let alone this, Secret Window is a good movie to watch for thriller lovers that won't fall into a must-watch movie list.
One of the old hit..
