THE GHOST WRITER (Theatrical Release USA 2010)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.5|5.0 Starsìììì

The Ghost Writer—minorly suspenseful and minorly thrilling—has an innovative concept that moves at a little faster pace than most drama films. The casting relies on the heavy-duty skills of Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, and Jon Bernthal. Watch for guest stars Timothy Hutton, Jim Belushi, and Tom Wilkinson. There is also a cameo for Eli Wallach. Overall, a good watch.
