A snappy, engaging thriller, "The Ghost Writer" overcomes a somewhat bloated midsection with a fantastic payoff. A writer (Ewan McGregor) is hired to take over ghostwriting the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang (Pierce Brosnan). He's a bit nervous given he's never written political material before, his deadline is tight, and his subject is a bit aloof and hot-tempered. Oh, and there's the little fact that his predecessor's body washed up on a beach a few days before.
