The Ghost Writer: Eli Wallach lives!

Posted by mr grits on March 19, 2010 at 14:17:02:
That's the big spoiler and the only one I will reveal. I thought he was pushing lilies a long time ago . . .

That damned, felonious Polank knows how to make a movie. This is one of his very, very best. The last scene of the film shook me into the realization that I will have to see it two more times to see what I missed. (Definitely on the buy list.)

Ewan McGregor played the bright, dry-witted, unassuming replacement ghost writer hired to finish a former British Prime Minister's memoirs. He began work under a tight deadline with Pierce Brosnan (PM) who seemed less that forthcoming on a lot of issues. Soon McGregor began picking up on odd facts, making unplanned side trips, and finally discovering the secret that caused so much trouble for all involved.

This is a deliciously structured, compelling conundrum that is stacked with a top-flight cast, script, and production values. Two hours to enjoy. Don't miss it.
