What's it feel like to be a ghost?

A review of Ghost Writer-the new Roman Polanski film.

This was truly a great film. It might also caught my attention as a great film because I saw Repo Men just the night before, but that review will be saved for when I finish that respective book (p.s. that movie sucked). Anyways...

Ghost Writer stars Ewan Mcgregor as the new ghost writer of Adam Lang's (Pierce Brosnan) auto-biography. The plot gets moving quickly because Ewan's character is replacing a man who held his position just a few weeks prior before he was found washed up on the side of a beach. Interesting? Very.

The movie is 90% talking chased with a shot of a few chases, but somehow way more exciting than two men disemboweling the world. Pierce Brosnan's character is a former British prime minister whom recently has been accused of terrible war crimes when he was in office. All of this occurs while Ewan is just trying to make his book more interesting. The work is practically done for him.

It has a great ending and is filled to the brim with interesting characters. I saw this movie on a whim and I am more than happy with myself for doing so. Great movie.

5/5 Stars
