Ghost Writer

Walking into a Roman Polanski film, I was riddled with anticipation. At the same time, I haven't really heard too much buzz around his new film, Ghost Writer. After his arrest, and court drama, I really thought this film would be a big deal but I am glad it wasn't. I think that would have over-hyped it for me. The film was extremely well done, but it's not one of Polanski's best. That being said, the screenplay was ridiculously tight, and the last shot of the film was nothing short of an art piece. Ewan McGreggor manages to be suspenseful and comedic at the same time, which is a feet. Ghost Writer also had Tom Wilkinson in it. I love that guy. During the course of the film I kept thinking about how enjoyable it was as a filmic experience, before I remembered it's a Polanski film. He's made some amazing movies, i shouldn't have been surprised. It was a nice change from the wannabe cinematic drivel I've subjected myself to in the past. Ghost Writer is definitely something to see in theatres if you're even mildly interested in the storyline.
