The Ghost Writer (2010) rating: 7/10

Ewan McGregor is great in this film about a writer of an ex-British prime minister's memoirs which is a bit of a conspiracy theory. Tony Blair is the film's de facto target, and it fully derides Blair as a puppet of the Americans and gives an (implausible?) explanation for why he might have done that. I watched this film end to end without much ffwding, so there's something to it. The only other Roman Polanski film that I've seen was Frantic which was also a fine thriller.
