Ghostwriter is directed by Roman Polanski and has his trademarks. The movie follows an ex-prime minister's attempt at publishing his memoirs. However there seems to be something mysterious with his autobiography.
Roman Polanski is capable of making simple scenes appear engaging. Whether it's the ghost-writer sleeping at an airport or him talking to an old man, Roman Polanski is able to create tension an interest through his framing and pacing. In these respects the movie is iconically Polanski.
But that's as far as it goes. If you are interested in the subject matter, then the movie will be very entertaining, but it does not rise above its purpose.
