Simply A Masterpiece

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Polanski is the master. Everything he crafts is golden. This is no exception. It feels so low key, yet it hooks you in and doesn't let go. All the performances are faultless and the tension and intrigue are unrelenting. Definitely recommended.

I hesitated for long time to give it a chance. I discovered The Ghost Writer again on Netflix. I have to admit that it was better than I expected. It begins slow but steady interesting. Then it gets more and more into an intriguing story. Finally it ends with great surprises that I couldn't even imagine at the beginning of the movie. Ewan McGregory played his role perfectly. I liked the mysterious filming locations and the perfectly adapted music a la Hitchcock. Director Roman Polanski created a solid mystery thriller. Bravo. It deserves by far a good entertaining rate of 7/10.

Dear Roman Polanski, Ghost Writer is mostly a film of place for me. The locales and the visuals stood out for me more than anything else in this film. It superseded the film's politics and the wonderful actors. I cannot think of another film set on an island that has been shot so beautifully. Hitchcock's Birds comes to mind. But the rainy, sparsely populated places with beaches and beautiful pubs and houses in The Ghost Writer captured my imagination unlike any other film.Ewen Mcgregor must be one of the best actors of his generation - he is perfect as a man who serves the powers that be. Pierce Brosnan excels in a rare role of a square. Olivia Williams as Brosnan's vicious and controlling wife delivers a strong performance. Kim Cattrall as her sexual rival was easy on the eyes.The background score by Alexander complements the visuals perfectly. The rollicking title score sounds like a ferry crashing through the waves. I loved it. And loved your movie too.Best Regards, Pimpin.

A ghostwriter (Ewan McGregor) is hired to complete the memoirs of a former British prime minister (Pierce Brosnan) and uncovers secrets that put his own life in jeopardy.Well directed and very well acted by everyone, the film moves at a steady pace towards the surprising conclusion (I did guess the twist) Pierce Brosnan, one of the most under rated actors in my opinion and the best James Bond there has ever been, plays his part very well and although there are clearly parallels to Tony Blair, he never tries to mimic him or anyone else.Ewan McGregor is as good as he always is (does that guy ever age?) although I did find his attempt at an English accent odd, much worse than Kim Cattrall's.Olivia Williams is very good as the wife with a secret past, but the bedroom scene with McGregor didn't seem to fit in with her character.Good to see Eli Wallach in what must was one of his last films, I believe he only made two more after this one.Over all a good thriller and well worth a watch.
