Review
You might have read the above brief synopsis that I specifically mentioned a ghost writer term over and over. Interestingly, the whole 200 minutes and I can't even find a single clue about the main character name on the movie. Well, no matter how silly it is that a main character without a name, you won't even notice it because the movie is excitingly intriguing and interesting that you won't even dare to get up from your seat. Polanski has really put very much effort bringing this novel story into a motion cinematic art of story telling. Thanks to him, politic movie has never been so interesting like ever before especially with the controversy element that he added to satisfy the audience hunger for more.
Ewan in the centre role of the movie executed the character brilliantly as well Pierce Brosnan supporting role really lift up the characters. Both acted really good, but I have to praise brilliant work of Pierce which I find he is really different from the usual James Bond.
Well, from all the good side, there must be something bad about it. Besides, a main character without a name, the movie has a really simple elegant but a bit disappointing ending. I wish that the ending could have been edited by getting rid of couple seconds of the movie exactly before ***SPOILER***** to feed the needs of audiences curiosity.
