An unremarkable ghost-writer has landed a lucrative contract to redact the memoirs of Adam Lang, the former UK Prime Minister. After dominating British politics for years, Lang is campaigning for his foundation with his wife in the USA. He lives on an island, in luxurious, isolated premises complete with a security detail and a secretarial staff. Soon, Adam Lang gets embroiled in a major scandal with international ramifications that reveals how far he was ready to go in order to nurture UK's "special relationship" with the USA. But before this controversy has started, before even he has closed the deal with the publisher, the ghost-writer gets unmistakable signs that the turgid draft he is tasked to put into shape inexplicably constitutes highly sensitive material.
Leave your thoughts about The Ghost Writer.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleHere's another thought: This old man who can't leave the house has just made the first important film of 2010. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis movie is the work of a man who knows how to direct a thriller. Smooth, calm, confident, it builds suspense instead of depending on shock and action. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranThe Ghost Writer is the kind of impeccable adult entertainment, able to alternate edge-of-your-seat episodes with bleakly comic moments, that Hitchcock used to specialize in and that Polanski himself realized so successfully in "Chinatown" and "Rosemary's Baby." |
| Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonThe Ghost Writer is so rich you may feel you paid too little for your ticket when the whole thing meets its very Polanski-ish climax. Please don't tell anyone. |
| SlateDana StevensThe Ghost Writer is a triumph: elegant, accomplished, and (this is the hardest part to admit) occasionally even wise. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsPolanski turns a conventional conspiracy thriller into a triumph of tone, ensemble playing and atmospheric menace. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversAll credit to a finely tuned Brosnan for packing so much intensity and wayward wit into his scenes with McGregor. Their verbal duels make for a dazzling game of cat-and-mouse. |
| The New YorkerDavid DenbyAn extraordinarily precise and well-made political thriller--the best thing Polanski has done since the seventies, when he brought out the incomparable “Chinatown” and the very fine “Tess.” |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumSatisfying, melancholy political suspense story. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe Ghost Writer may not go down as one of Polanski’s masterpieces, but if it does end up being his swan song, it’s the ideal denouement to a life and career of unsettling resonance. |
