Product Description

Though he knows he should be at his computer writing another book, or at least walking his dog along the sparkling lake outside his dingy cabin, successful author Mort Rainey is sleeping on his favorite sofa for up to 16 hours a day. He is in the midst of a painful divorce and everything about the breakup has turned messy and unpleasant. It has sapped his energy and siphoned away his creativity, leaving him with a monumental case of writer's block that renders him incapable of even stringing a simple sentence together. Then, when it seems as if things can't possibly get worse, a psychotic stranger named John Shooter shows up at his doorstep, accuses Rainey of plagiarizing his story and demands satisfaction. Despite Rainey's efforts to placate him, Shooter becomes increasingly insistent and hostile, intimating a twisted sort of justice that could include cold-blooded murder. Forced into a mind-bending game of cat and mouse, Rainey discovers that he has more cunningness and gritty determination than he ever imagined. In the end, he realizes that elusive Shooter may know him better than he knows himself.

Customer Reviews

Good!
It is such a good movie, it has suspense and a nice twist to it. It kept you guessing and it kept me on the edge of my seat for sure. I love Johnny Depp too, he is such a fantastic actor, I really enjoyed his role in this movie. Timothy Hutton and John Turturro are both in the movie as well.

Eerily excellent
I love Johnny Depp in this movie. It will keep you guessing from beginning to end--as cliche as that sounds. Highly recommended for those that like a suspenseful mystery.

Johnny Depp, sexy as ever!

One morning He is approached by a strange man who claims that he stole a story of his. Mort thinks that this guy is just some crazy fan...until strange things start to happen...Great movie and great story.
