Ghost Writer

I saw this film in Tel Aviv and really didn’t know what I was about to see. The advertisement was in Hebrew. I only went to the film because it was in English. It wasn’t until the end of the film that I saw the name of Roman Polansky. This is his latest film.

There were Hebrew and Arab subtitles but the spoken language was in English.

It was a good story with a lot of suspense and it held my interest throughout.

A young man is hired to be a ghost writer for a former Prime Mister. It doesn’t hurt that the writer is Ewan McGregor and the Prime Minister is Pierce Brosnan.

The original ghost writer dies while attempting to write the autobiography. It is assumed that he was murdered. The character played by McGgegor becomes involved in trying to solve the murder of the former writer.

Polansky is a master at intrigue and suspense.

Suspicion surrounds the Prime Minister and there is the possibility that he will be charged with war crimes.

The music throughout was so appropriate. The movie is fast paced and keeps your attention.
