I don’t know about you but I’ve been struggling to take Pierce Brosnan seriously since he croaked out those Abba songs and pranced around gaily in Mamma Mia! Here, perhaps, he regains some credibility as a British Prime Minister with a somewhat murderous background.
He hires a ghost writer (Ewan McGregor) to complete his memoirs, but before long realises that his “Ghost” is onto his shady past, and must take measures to shut him down. While the plot sounds pretty straightforward, the unfolding of it is not. This is a thriller to rival the best of the lot. Fast-paced and nail-bitingly tense, this is a film that is much better than it looks from the outside.
Rating: 4 outta 5.
