Product Description

Product Description

Roman Polanski directs this political thriller based on the novel by Robert Harris. Ewan McGregor plays a ghost-writer who is hired to work on the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang (Pierce Brosnan) following the mysterious demise of his previous collaborator. Taken to a luxury mansion on an island off the American East Coast to begin work on the book, he is introduced to the unsettlingly mercurial Prime Minister, his wife Ruth (Olivia Williams) and his personal assistant Amelia (Kim Cattrall). When Lang subsequently becomes embroiled in a major international scandal that reveals just how far he was prepared to go in order to nurture UK's 'special relationship' with the USA, the ghost-writer finds himself caught up in a deadly web of secrets and lies.

Soundtrack is in English (original) and German (dubbed); there are no Subtitles.

4.0 out of 5 stars"...Heart Sells Autobiographies..." - The Ghost on BLU RAY
By Mark Barry HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 27 Jun. 2014
Format: Blu-ray
A small car ferry pulls into the American seaport of Old Haven at night during a downpour. The front bow lifts, ramps fall and vehicles disembark. But a Silver Mercedes SUV remains stubbornly on deck with no one inside. Removed by police - it's later examined on the dock for suspect devices - but there's nothing. A distance away - a fully clothed man's body washes up on the island's shoreline in the dark - as the rain pours relentlessly down...

Meanwhile back in London - a British Journalist/Biography (we never do get his name) is being propositioned by his agent in a Soho bar. A lucrative opening has occurred that's worth $250,000 - all expenses paid - and for just one month's work. Mike McAra the biographer of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang has committed suicide in the USA - his body found washed up on the beach. And with a ten million dollar advance and deadlines looming - a 'ghost writer' is needed to complete the unfinished manuscript for Rhinehart, Inc. And as Adam Lang has recently been accused of being involved in ordering the secret kidnapping of four Pakistani terrorists five years back when he was PM (that included torture and one death) - interest in his 'memoirs' is both high and needs to be handled well. The Ghost (Ewan McGregor) convinces Lang's people (Timothy Hutton and James Belushi) that he'll ask the questions the public want answered - and 'honesty' will give them the blockbuster they need (dialogue above). Oddly - they agree - and soon our Ghost is on his way to meet the elusive former British PM (Pierce Brosnan as Adam Lang) in his barricaded and well guarded US home located on an island.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsDeftly crafted Polanski thriller.
By Amazon Customer TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 4 April 2011
Format: DVD
An unamed ghost-writer (McGregor) is given the task of rewriting the memoirs of a Blair-like ex-PM Adam Lang (Brosnan), after the previous ghost-writer committed suicide. He travels to a gloomy seaside hideaway in America (supposed to be Martha's Vineyard -- the location they filmed Jaws -- though, due to Polanksi's legal problems, it was actually filmed in Germany) to meet the politican (and his wife), and attempt to rewrite the manuscript. As he is there, though, the story breaks that Lang is to be tried for war crimes in Iraq, and as he also finds (in the effects of his predecessor) evidence that there might have been CIA involvement in Lang's ascendency to the top.

I thought this was actually excellent and can't believe the amount of 1 star reviews! (If you don't like slow films, watch something else!) The cinematography and atmosphere (lots of sombre, autumnul greys and browns, rainy beaches) and pacing were particularily impressive and reminded me somewhat of Wallander (the Branagh adaptations), but the film was also full of Polanksi's mischevious genius. I thought McGregor was compelling in the central role (it was through his characters admittance that he knew nothing about politics that helped draw me in more). Brosnan was uterlised to perfection (keeping him cleverly off camera for large portions of the film to retain an impersonal distance and power), as Adam Lang, hiding away in his designer bunker by the ocean, whilst his world fell apart. The rest of the cast were excellent too.

I suppose people will see this in different ways. I'm seeing it as someone who loves Polanski's work, but who hasn't read the book. I'd reccomend this to anyone who likes Polanksi (or also Wallander).Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsWicked bottle of Polanski
By greenwise design on 3 Jun. 2012
Format: Blu-ray
Understated shades purvey this involving coup of a film, so fans of 'The Ninth Gate' won't be disappointed. Only it's updated, with more hyper-real political themes that are the backdrop this time. People get carried away commenting upon the plausibility of the plot facts etc etc...and forget that Polanski makes art, focussed on an individual, carefully building in subtle camerawork that punctuates a gradual escalation of tension. This time the message is more potent: corruption, truth, the ghost that is lost between the lines in the lofty decisions made every day. Well done Richard Harris, a British Michael Crichton, who provided the original book. Two talents combined here. This is a thriller in its purest form. It's the individual that matters most to Polanski,caught in a seemingly simple, promising emotional landscape of reality until suddenly the deep waves come rolling. The pleasure for us is in sensing these waves with the director. Which is why we have such a terrific backdrop of water in this movie.

McGregor is superb, nowhere jarring in performance, as are all the others.

Essential addition. Leaves you just a little haunted by people, by the minefield of politics. The facts matter less, the emotion is there.

5.0 out of 5 starsWell worth watching
By Couple in Greece on 25 Nov. 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
We read the book and enjoyed it very much. We bought the DVD not expecting it to follow the book as many movies condense the story ommitting many of the important details therefore changing, usually not for the better, the details. This followed the book closely and was equally enjoyable. We can fully recommend.
