Author Mort Rainey (Depp) finds his career in jeopardy when he is accused of plagiarism by a man named John Shooter (Turturro, who threatens to report him to the police and ruin his life unless he changes the ending to the story.
I had high hopes for this film when I sat down to watch it. One of Stephen King's better short stories, award winning actors playing extras, Johnny Depp in the lead role. Yet this was not a very satisfying movie on the whole. Despite this being well directed by David Koepp, whose direction in Stir Of Echoes was excellent, the plot developments were just too obvious (even if I hadn't read the story beforehand). It just seems that Hollywood will translate any of King's stories to the screen these days, as the recent appalling Nightmares & Dreamscapes series clearly indicates, and not make any effort to try and make it good!
