Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Adapted from a Stephen King novella, the film lurches tiredly through the author's favorite masochistic-narcissistic fantasy, subjecting a woebegone writer to a gauntlet of abuse.

rotten:
The plot certainly has possibilities, but far too many of them are botched by writer-director David Koepp, who's a better writer than director.

rotten:
Has no story, no ending and no redeeming value.

fresh:
The story is so basic that it makes a fine template for an exercise in style, and Koepp layers on the details with great relish.

rotten:
Mr. Depp demonstrates once again that he never disappoints as an actor, even in something as fraudulent as Secret Window.
