The Ghost Writer Synopsis:
The Ghost Writer is a film adaption of the Robert Harris novel The Ghost. When a successful British ghostwriter, The Ghost, agrees to complete the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang, his agent assures him it's the opportunity of a lifetime.
But the project seems doomed from the start—not least because his predecessor on the project, Lang's long-term aide, died in an unfortunate accident.
The Ghost flies out to work on the project, in the middle of winter, to an oceanfront house on an island off the U.S. Eastern seaboard. But the day after he arrives, a former British cabinet minister accuses Lang of authorizing the illegal seizure of suspected terrorists and handing them over for torture by the CIA—a war crime.
The controversy brings reporters and protesters swarming to the island mansion where Lang is staying with his wife, Ruth, and his personal assistant (and mistress), Amelia.
As The Ghost works, he begins to uncover clues suggesting his predecessor may have stumbled on a dark secret linking Lang to the CIA—and that somehow this information is hidden in the manuscript he left behind.
Reviews:
One thing is for certain, Roman Polanski knows how to build tension and The Ghost Writer delivers on that front and is, for the most part, a very satisfying paranoid thriller of which Polanski is a known master. The story twists and turns down a few roads I didn't see as necessary, but in the end it delivers a punch you most likely saw coming, but were never entirely convinced would actually arrive.
Ewan McGregor stars as The Ghost, a writer for hire. He finds himself ghosting the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang played by Pierce Brosnan. Knee deep in political scandal and surrounded by protestors at every turn, Lang isn't exactly a prime subject for a glowing autobiography. Things look even worse when taking into consideration McGregor's predecessor died under mysterious circumstances.
Nevertheless, locked away in a beach-side fortress in Martha's Vineyard, The Ghost takes to his duties, attempts to sort through the lies and deception and the closer he gets to the truth the more ominous the plot becomes. He must now decide how deep he wants to dig as he's watched closely by Lang's assistant, played by Kim Cattrall sporting one of the worst English accents I've heard in some time, and grows ever closer to Lang's wife played beautifully by Olivia Williams whom we last saw as the school teacher in An Education.
McGregor, however, is the highlight as he most often is anytime he isn't involved in a film sporting a budget of considerable size. As long as you get him into true actor's territory he's one of the best and The Ghost Writer is no exception in a role that carries the film. He even outshines Tom Wilkinson, who appears to be uncharacteristically sleepwalking through his limited screen time.
The screenplay, which was, predominately, adapted by Robert Harris working from his own source novel, carries shades of Polanski's personal life as the director contributed slightly to the story. This is hardly a surprise, and it's relatively easy to shrug off as Polanski's exploits have been the source of a recent documentary and even more recently publicized to the point of such rabid lunacy you can only laugh the film's parallel's off, which I am sure will outrage the mob even more.
