I love mystery films, I love Stephen King and I love Johnny Depp. So, I was really looking forward to watching this film. And though it's not as good as other King films (like Green Mile, The Shining or Misery) it still is a good film. Even though I would probably enjoy the film more if I hadn't read the book, it still was very interesting to watch how King's story was transferred to the big screen.
The story is good, if a little predictable (after all the main twist has been used a lot in the last years) and Depp's performance is, as usual, brilliant. Torturro and Hutton also do a pretty good job. And Phillip Glass did an excellent job with the music (a fact that nobody seem to have noticed in the reviews I've read).
All in all, this is a good, solid movie. A must see for fans of Stephen King or Johhny Depp and probably for anyone else as well. I give it 7 out of 10.
