(1 - 39) of 39 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1   "Johnny Depp may be the only actor around today who can turn even something as simple as washing and drying his hands into a dramatic clue about the character he's playing."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 3/4 "By the end of Secret Window, I was too busy being amused by the film's undeniable sense of thrills to care that much about the flaws."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 3/4 "Secret Window is taut, credible, and thoroughly entertaining, and features another eccentric -- and uncommonly good -- performance from Johnny Depp."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth C+ "An unsatisfying finale."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "A taut, spine-tingling thriller, the most assured and classy adaptation of Stephen King's horror-themed work since 1990's Misery."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman "Naturally, the less said about the spooks themselves, the better."   City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul   Ed Gonzalez B "A deliciously pulpy thriller ... equal parts comedy and suspense, and the mix is nice."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B+ "With the gargantuan amount of talent invested in this production, it just seems churlish to quibble over details."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "...[a] stylish but hampered frightfest. There’s a questionable routine draft that blows through this particular defective Window...notoriously derivative and repetitive. "   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B "For all its last-act problems, the picture's stylishness, genuinely unsettling atmosphere and spectacular lead performances make it an enjoyably creepy thrill-ride."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "Secret Window is an intense thriller, adapted from a novella by Stephen King, that presents a rounded anatomy of resentment and anger."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "The standout is John Turturro, who makes Shooter a terrifying individual."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/4 "for a while it works, right up until its dreadfully silly ending"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3.5/4 "Bravo for the revival of the smart thriller."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 2.5/5 "It's not the best King adaptation ever, but it's a good one. See it for Johnny."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 2/4 "The bulk of Secret Window is best summed up by another of the film’s thematic constants—a primary character’s pathological taste for corn."   Slant Magazine   Keith Uhlich 1/5 "Bottom line, it's extremely predictable, even if you didn't read the original novella."   Film Threat   Kevin Carr C+ "[Depp] does make the experience far more watchable than it ought to be...with his eccentric, outwardly violent manifestations of his inner turmoil"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/5 "King's Secret Window, Secret Garden is the kind of story that defies adaptation."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "It’s all about the Depp. And hats."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "Absorbing and satisfying, just like a good old-fashioned page-turner of a novel."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "There are a couple of tingly reveals and creepy fake-outs, but it's just too familiar. John Shooter tells Morty that his story needs a better ending. So does this movie. "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow "Depp's ... wonderfully frazzled portrait of seething resentment almost makes this minor thriller seem fresh."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 4/5 "Torna-se não apenas um suspense eficiente, mas também um curioso estudo de personagens."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca "'Secret Window' is essentially a one-man show for Johnny Depp to strut his stuff."   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 2.5/5 "Koepp simply never gets anywhere near the story's underlying themes."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/5 "Once again, Depp slouches into a piece of mainstream entertainment and takes every opportunity to amuse himself."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C+ "For all its technical prowess, it can't shake the feeling that we've seen this all before... and that it was probably better the first time."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "So creepy it had me squirming in my seat."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C+ "Secret Window had me for the first two-thirds of the film but it falls apart into typical [Stephen] King-isms in the last third..."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 2/4 "The greater question is why folks who have demonstrated relatively good judgment in the past equivocated themselves into a dimwit pot-boiler."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf C- Read review   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 6/10 Read review   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 2/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 6/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger Read review   Nitrate Online   Cynthia Fuchs Read review   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. Read review   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel  (1 - 39) of 39 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1
