What her majesty does not know
24 July 2010
Roman Polanski never loses his touch at directing good movies irrespective of what happens in his personal life. At least it seems so after watching this one. Adapted from a novel, the storyline was quite intriguing. The story of a Former British PM's memoirs, his questionable actions as a PM and the mysterious death of his Ghost writer. Well it might seem like a straight enough plot, but the unravelling mystery will leave you astounded. The star cast was well chosen. Pierce Brosnan who plays the former British PM does a good job although it seemed like he is trying a bit too hard to sound British. Ewan McGregor as the Ghost writer does a splendid job, after all he knows the ways of the force. Olivia Williams and rest of the cast have also done fairly well. The movie stands well on its own but the film score in the background adds to the mystery and the feel of it. All in all its a good watch.
