I have 4 weeks to get this book published: briefly; we meet this individual named individual that gets the character name of The Ghost [Ewan McGregor:] he has been sent by Rhinehart, Inc. to get this autobiography of Adam Lang [Pierce Brosnan:] he is an ex-British Prime Minister, he also has a wife her name is Ruth Lang [Olivia Williams:] she is a strong lady that knows and mine, but the more our Ghost undercovers, the more questions reveal themselves

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 128 minutes film tiresome and shortly becomes tedious as for the vast majority of the time it has one particular flow which is slow and steady, which I know what they were trying to do, they were trying to create an intense investigating kind of atmosphere to run this film off most of the time, but it fell flat and I will be bringing up elements of this section again later on in this content.

Art and action; the art itself is smart and well presented to indicate that someone from the present or the past politics hotseat in this case a British Prime Minister is still in that world; in fact inadvertently or not it does an excellent job of highlighting that they are very much not in touch with the common person regardless of party or/and gender and for the action it is predominantly finding clues or/and information or the chasing sequence which is solidly good.

Character developments and performances; the character developments are very much what you come to expect with this political/mystery type of film, so on one hand they fulfil those character types with ease and comfort, but like I said from earlier mixed with the framework and pacing and these character developments and performances which are solid versions of what they are meant to be by design but also consequently tiresome and tedious as things are.

This film receives: 2/10, this film is poor; I just found it incredibly tedious and the person that I watch some of the content with also said it was I am paraphrasing here boring, yet it has so many awards accredited to its name such as; 34 Winners that include but not limited to positive; London Critics Circle Film Awards 2011 ALFS Award British Supporting Actress of the Year Olivia Williams, 57 Nominees which also include positive; Evening Standard British Film Awards 2011 Evening Standard British Film Award Best Actress Olivia Williams and 1 negative Winner Women Film Critics Circle Awards 2010 WFCC Award Hall of Shame "At large Polanski sets up Olivia Williams' Lady Macbeth spouse as not only the instigator of UK's collusion in Iraq, letting Blair off the hook. But the predatory extreme seductress aggressor nearly rapes the gullible Ghost as well, when cornering him in his tub with an offer of towels to dry his tush. The Female Made Me Do It defense."
