Watch: The Ghost Writer 2010 123movies, Full Movie Online – An unremarkable ghost-writer has landed a lucrative contract to redact the memoirs of Adam Lang, the former UK Prime Minister. After dominating British politics for years, Lang is campaigning for his foundation with his wife in the USA. He lives on an island, in luxurious, isolated premises complete with a security detail and a secretarial staff. Soon, Adam Lang gets embroiled in a major scandal with international ramifications that reveals how far he was ready to go in order to nurture UK’s “special relationship” with the USA. But before this controversy has started, before even he has closed the deal with the publisher, the ghost-writer gets unmistakable signs that the turgid draft he is tasked to put into shape inexplicably constitutes highly sensitive material..
Plot: A writer stumbles upon a long-hidden secret when he agrees to help former British Prime Minister Adam Lang complete his memoirs on a remote island after the politician’s assistant drowns in a mysterious accident.

Not great but extremely entertaining
I have been waiting to see this movie since I saw the trailer and not just because it starred Pierce Bronsnan. This film looked and sounded very interesting and I have to say that it was. It might be slow for some people who are use to modern movies where things move at a fast pace (mostly to go nowhere). It keeps your interest and has a nice twist at the end. The acting was superb, even the minor roles, such as Timothy Hutton (who I miss on the big screen) did a great job with a really small role. Sure it wasn’t a great thriller but it has a lot of good elements that make it suspenseful. Also this movie has a lot of humor and doesn’t take itself so seriously which is great too. It’s a really good balance and I would see it again.
Roman Polanski gives off a Hitchcockian vibe
A nameless writer (Ewan McGregor) is given a lucrative job to ghost write the memoirs of former UK prime minister Adam Lang (Pierce Brosnan) after the previous ghost writer is found dead. He travels to Lang’s seaside home in Massachusetts. The memoirs are stored under tight security. Lang is soon under political pressure from allegations of handing over British prisoners to the CIA for torture.Director Roman Polanski has created a tight Hitchcockian vibe about the movie. The main problem is the lack of clarity. This movie is one mystery after another. He shows you a dead body, but then lets you assume who it is. He never tells you the name of Ewan’s character. At times, the lack of clarity gives a sense of mystery and suspense. Other times, it just gives me a headache. Kim Cattrall with a British accent also gave me a bit of a headache. In the end, this is a compelling mystery that is worth a watch.
