Wanneer de succesvolle Britse ghostwriter ingehuurd wordt om de memoires te schrijven van de voormalige premier van Groot-Brittannië Adam Lang, is dat de kans van z'n leven. Althans, dat zegt de agent van de schrijver. Tijdens de opdracht stuit hij echter op heel wat geheimen, waardoor de ghostwriter verstrikt raakt in een web van politieke intriges.

    A fine example of Polanski's filmmaking genius -- excellent performances by McGregor and Brosnan, what an ending!

    This is one of the best movies ever made.On a par with Citizen Kane or Lawrence of Arabia or On The Waterfront. Perfect casting, acting, direction, art design, script/story. Polanski's under appreciated masterpiece.

    Very tense and somewhat confusing movie, but a dramatic ending!

    Book was pretty good. This was as good, if not better. This trimmed down the fat considerably and I enjoyed the ending more than the books. Also great casting.

    The Ghost Writer is an uneventful movie about a man revising a rather tedious manuscript. He spends most of the movie worrying about grammar errors and chapter structures made by his predecessor. This is a good movie for people who think semi colons are high drama. Luckily I am such a person. The third act includes a compelling argument between our hero, the ghost writer, and the villain, his client's wife. The row between this about whether or not its a good idea to use incomplete sentences for dramatic effect. Riveting stuff. I rate this movie a 4 out of 5 stars. Frankly the subplot about the CIA and terrorism was a bit of a bore. The film needed less politics and more prose.

    Not sure why there's so many glowing reviews of this movie. It's a bit of a slog, not a huge sense of stakes and the finale is quite underwhelming.
