Ghosts aren’t meant to be predictable. The story involves a former CIA agent working with an FBI rookie as they try to track down a serial killer whose methods suggest the involvement of a Soviet agent believed to be deceased. Despite some plot issues and implausible endings, there's a solid Cold War political thriller struggling to emerge. The first-time director and co-writer, Michael Brandt, seems to believe he’s John le Carré, but his efforts at being clever and deceptive in the last portion of the film only make him appear inexperienced and disrespectful toward viewers. The movie starts off on stable ground; it's standard and predictable, yes, but there’s a sense of mystery, and Richard Gere and Topher Grace holding the lead roles are engaging. An event roughly thirty minutes in really hooks you into what’s happening. However, it never develops into the suspenseful thriller that those involved clearly wanted to create. As the storyline becomes tangled and confusing, Brandt has to depend on a few intense scenes to pull things together—think interrogation displays of strength and some car chase action—but these moments aren't enough to turn things around. The return of Martin Sheen only reinforces how easily he could have been forgotten from the film altogether. That probably sums up the whole experience. 4/10
