About three-fourths of the way through Secret Window I was just about ready to give up on this movie, with it's increasingly preposterous plot. It just seemed too ridiculous ... but I also knew that there was probably a major story twist in the offing. And Johnny Depp was so good in the lead role that I really wanted to find out what happened to him. Surprise, surprise, there was a final twist that resolved all the strangeness and made sense of it -- sort of. For fans of the thriller/horror genre, this is a movie well worth seeing. For others, there's not much really new here. It's a blend of several different plots we've seen before, but it's well done. Grade: B
