RATING: 3.5/5
For my first Roman Polanski, we decided on the new release The Ghost Writer. A very long (2.5hr) movie about a ghost writer (Ewan Mcgregor) who was hired to help write the memoirs of a former British Prime Minister (Pierce Brosnan), but when the Ex-PM gets accused of terrorism, the ghost writer begins to dig and uncovers truths about what is truly going on.
Now the movie comes off as it would be suspenseful thriller, but it wasn’t at all like that. It was an awesome movie, but was told with such calm and peacefulness that I did not feel stressed while the ghost writer was figuring it all out. I found that it did not need to be in order to be good, more like a mystery than a suspense. Every scene had a purpose and I did not feel like there was that much filler therefore I was not bored, which is good for me.
