This is a decently made movie with currently hot commodity Johnny Depp. He is the modern version of Dennis Hopper, getting his best stuff from damaged/offbeat characters. Hopper is a master of these roles -- Feck in River's Edge, Lyle from Dallas in Red Rock West and many more like Speed. Depp is still cementing his place in these roles.
My biggest complaint about this movie is that it is not a new concept. There are multiple movies and stories about people writing stories getting sucked into them. It certainly has the King direction to it, but it is still a copy of others. Has King run out of new ideas? Maybe, maybe not.
In summation, good, not great movie. Without Depp, it probably fails. If you are a Depp fan, you will like it. If not, you may be disappointed.
