Ewan McGregor stars as The Ghost, a writer hired for big money to anonymously improve an autobiography, this time for a former British Prime Minister (Pierce Brosnan) with a tight turnaround time; the previous ghost drowned under mysterious circumstances�was is accidental? Suicide? Murder? He travels to a vacation home of the PM on Martha�s Vineyard, and begins his work. The original memoir is dull, but then our Ghost discovers some other hidden research that leads to a more nefarious view of his subject, and may put his life at the same risk as the previous writer. Master filmmaker Roman Polanski�s (The Pianist) spellbinding, stylish and darkly witty political thriller, adapted from Robert Harris� novel, is greatly entertaining and well-made.
