Not quite there

Nicolas Cage, Ciarán Hinds and Idris Elba do their best with a guy struggling with his fate as a bounty hunter for the devil. This is a good premise as it was in the first one. It's just that the plot moves at a sow pace. It "seems" to go fast, but it is really slow and not ahead of its audience. If the story is going to be as such and everyone agrees on this then why not have more of the "ghost"? More of the stuff that the title suggests.

I have like Cages work in many movies, including Leaving Las Vegas, Moonstruck and Honeymoon in Vegas, but it seems like he was constrained by the parameters of this script in this movie.

Directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor with the screenplay by Scott M. Gimple, Seth Hoffman and David S. Goyer (story by David S. Goyer), Ghostwriter: Spirit Of Vengeance maybe had too many drafts and rewrites from too many different sources. Interestingly enough, I look forward to seeing what they do with another installment (if they decide to do one), because the premise is a good one.
