"The Ghost Writer", Roman Polanski (2010)

What a dissapointment!  The movie is beautifully shot and has a menacing ambience, but the central mystery is innocuous and politically naive.  The final shot of the film belongs in "Final Destination" and not here.  There is more socially relevant info in the end credits of "The Other Guys" than in this political thriller that doesn´t have too much of both.  Performances are excellent, and the central subject of the movie are the ghosts pulling the levers of the machine.  Other than that, a simple toy for simple minds (2/5).
