When a writer gets hire to be the ghost writer of a former Prime Minister’s autobiography, he finds himself thrown into the deep end of a political tsunami. The slow pacing of this Roman Polanski thriller takes a while to get used to, but the performances are strong enough to keep you guessing what will happen next until you get sucked in. Ewan McGregor is fascinating as the writer who uses his talent to make other people shine, and Pierce Bronsnan is a perfect counterbalance as the retired world leader trying to shape his past to fit the image he wants history to remember him by.
