The Ghost Writer (no spoilers)

It's very good. Keeps you interested throughout. I recommend it.

i enjoyed it a lot. I dunno about the best of the past few years, but you will definitely really really like it if you like that genre

i'd say suspense

one of the best of the past few years...true?

No. It's not a bad movie, but it's certainly not Polanski's best. I'm a fan of Robert Harris and I read the book, so I may have been a bit biased because I thought the book was better. It's a good movie, but I was just a bit unsure what to think when I saw it at the theater. I need to watch it again. It's well acted, but again, I think my opinion might be colored by having read the book. Also Kim Catrall has a role that is just badly cast. She was a distraction. Reading this, I'm realizing it's not very helpful.

It seemed a bit slow moving to me.

I just watched it. I wish it had been made by Mamet instead of Polanksi. The Bush administration stuff was just absurdly ham-handed.
