The Ghost Writer


When a british ghost writer agrees to finish the memoirs of the former UK Prime Minister, Adam Lang, his agent assures him it's an opportunity of a lifetime. But, the project seems to have been condemned since the beginning. The man who was trying to finish this job, Lang's advisor, died in an unfortunate accident. Related to a lot of current topics, this political suspense is a story of deceit and betrayal at all levels; sexual, political, and literary. In a world where nothing and nobody can be trusted, the ghost writer soon discovers that the past can be fatal and comes to a conclusion that "history is decided by who is still alive to write it".

The protagonist is interpreted by Ewan McGregor, who did a excellent job playing this part. His acting was really convincing, so during the movie I felt connected to what was happening. When he was anguished, I was anguished and kind of cheering for him even though I knew how the story would end. The rest of the cast was also good, specially Kin Cattrall. Even though its a predictable movie, Ghost Writer didn't disappoint me, so I think anyone who watched it would really enjoy it. I just wouldn't recommend it for children because maybe they would be scared and not understand the story.
