As you all know, Secret Window came out on Friday. I got to see it this weekend and thought it was awsome! So did anyone see it? If so did you guys like it?

I saw it this weekend also. I thought it was good but I think Ive seen too many movies like this because I figured out about 25 mins in that

Spoiler:

Johnny Depps character was messed up in the head and that he Shooter and he were the same person.

The clues were very obvious to me for some reason. I still enjoyed it. Johnny Deep I thought put in a great preformance.

I thought the movie was okay the first time, when it was called The Dark Half.

Blarg. Bad movie. I could see everything from a mile away, like

Spoiler:

the dog getting killed, the boyfriend being a red herring, Shooter and Mort being one and the same, and "Shooter" meaning "Shoot Her" (even though he didn't actually shoot her... )

Johnny Depp is never bad, but he seemed to be running on autopilot in this one. A waste of time.

This movie was too predictable. Had they change some of the parts that made you know who Shooter was, and made it not as easy to figure out, then it would've been an OK movie. Also, there was a little too much comedy to keep the tension going IMO.

I liked the film. I wasn't at all sure where the film was headed, and I'm fine with that. Johnny Depp was good, as was John Turturro. I also liked the cinematography.

If I hadn't seen Identity the year before, I might've had a bigger problem with the finale.

Great score by, of all people, Philip Glass.
