I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I was really looking forward to this film given the cast and director. Two hours of my life I will never get back. Pedestrian plot with no real tension. Direction which came close to being a parody. And the most wooden and uncomfortable acting imaginable. Nobody involved can have been happy with the outcome.

Polanski is the master. Everything he crafts is golden. This is no exception. It feels so low key, yet it hooks you in and doesn't let go. All the performances are faultless and the tension and intrigue are unrelenting. Definitely recommended.

This is a great drama/mystery movie with a thrill added in a low quantity, all of that is combined with a well written script which deliver you a full integrated meal.The movie starts with a scene of a car on a fury that lost its driver,then we know that the body of the driver was found on the beach after he committed suicide.This driver is the former ghost of a former British prime minister.Then we come to our ghost,the guy whose real name wasn't mentioned throughout the movie, he got a proposal to complete the memories of the former PM.Then everything get sophisticated when the ghost investigate about the memories of his client.I have a problem with that much of names with letter R, for example:Rick Ricardelli ,Roy ,Sidney kRoll ,baRRy,Ruth lang ,Richard Rycart. I mean seriously, is it the letter R party ?!The movie has a really nice rhythm except for few moments that you may get bored watching them, the suspense is not constant as it's not primarily a thriller movie, however it has a surprising finale.Finally it's a good dramatic movie that keeps you wondering throughout it and the good thing that you will not be left with no answers.

So the bad thing about this movie, is that the surprise at the end, or the solution of the mystery, isn't that surprising after all. I mean it's not like I trusted any of the characters/politicians in this movie (or in real life either). So when Ruth turns out to be a CIA agent and kills her husband(I guess) and the ghostwriter, it's not even unexpected. I really hated the cold decor, London was the only beautiful place shown in the movie. The actors played their roles very well, but of course the ghostwriter kept making all the bad decisions knowing he wasn't backed by anyone/anything powerful, I just wonder how he had the guts to keep chasing the bad guys, and why did he keep threatening them. That was so stupid and of course would lead to his eventual and most certain death.
