But either given the trouble that might have come from putting Big Tobacco on blast or because guns were becoming such a hot topic the main point of the film was changed. The book that inspired the movie was originally about smoking when it came to the lawsuit. Having to deal with an overzealous federal agent and a madman that had hijacked his plane didn’t make things easy but he did what he could and eventually helped to win the day at the cost of a lot of collateral damage and possibly a very long and arduous talk with his boss concerning what happened. Larkin wasn’t a superhero by any means but he was a smart guy and could figure out how things were going down and was doing his best to make things right. This was just a fun movie altogether since it didn’t require a whole lot of thought and it resembled a ride that you could just sit back and enjoy. Some people might think he’s lackadaisical throughout the movie but if you look at the character’s back story a little closer you’d understand why. There wasn’t a lot of material to work with and yet the filmmaker managed to create something that was simple yet so haunting that it kind of played up to his frantic acting skills at times and made him really work to get the character right. Originally 1408 was a short story, kind of like Secret Window, another adaptation of one of his stories. Stephen King is the undisputed master of horror since a lot of his works tend to be so spine-chilling that some folks can’t possibly read them at night, let alone watch the movies that result from his stories. Here are five of his best movies from his career so far. But then again he does have a big list to pull from and there might have been a few that got looked over.

Of course there are those like Sixteen Candles where he has a good but minor role that didn’t quite make the list. Those movies that he does have that are memorable and great however make it easy to remember him by. His earlier movies and some of those within the past two decades have been great but once again, it’s almost as though he decided to sample a great number of projects and then slipped into obscurity when they tanked so badly.

He’s a great actor to be honest but it really feels as though he’s taken on so many different movies that his act has been watered down at times and on point with others. It seems like John Cusack has had kind of an up and down career throughout his life.
