5. The Ghost Writer

Ewan McGregor is a ghostwriter for a former British prime minister (Pierce Brosnan), scathingly modeled on Tony Blair, who gets in way over his head. Roman Polanski directed, which means the film is simultaneously scabrous and comedic. As enjoyable as it is, "The Ghost Writer" finally sounds a note of pervasive dread.
