The Ghost (2010)
Based on the novel of the same name by Robert Harris this film is directed by Roman Polanski and stars Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan and Olivia Williams. A writer is hired to ghost write the autobiography of a former British prime minister but runs into some dark secrets.
Despite being set in Britain and America this film was shot in Germany due to Polanski being a fugitive from the law and the desolate beach landscapes are probably the best thing in the film. The plot centres round a thinly veiled fictional version of Tony Blair and while being a decent thriller does little of originality. Being fairly well made is mostly enough to distract from the predictability of the film but does not elevate the film to anything greater.
3/5
