Big Screen: The Ghost Writer

For the most part, this was a pretty good, interesting movie with a great noir-ish look and feel and some eventful plot twists. Ewan McGregor and Olivia Williams were great, Jim Belushi was surprisingly good. The cinematography was lovely: lots of moody lighting, fog, lights off in the distance, and spooky roads/paths. Liked the way the v. last scene was filmed a lot.

On the other hand, Kim Cattrall cannot maintain a British accent for more than a few words and her performance was really, really subpar. Either her character should have been changed to being an American or that role should have been recast.
