From CHUD's review of The Ghost Writer

There's a scene in The Ghost Writer where Pierce Brosnan's Tony-Blair-In-All-But-Name ex-Prime Minister is looking at charges of war crimes and wondering where he can live without being extradited to the World Court that suddenly pulls you out of the story and reminds you that the director of the film himself recently learned a valuable lesson about nations with extradition treaties. Thankfully that's the only moment in The Ghost Writer that really draws attention to the weird conditions of the film's final post-production process, although many will insist on watching the film (if they can bring themselves to watch a movie from someone like Polanski at all, what with them being such arbiters of morals and justice, and what with them demanding only the most pure behavior from all artists) through that prism. But when watched as a film - just as a film - The Ghost Writer is smart and thrilling and funny and wonderfully told.

...YEAH, GUYS, HE JUST DRUGGED AND SODOMIZED A LITTLE GIRL, WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE?

You know, I think I'm gonna side with Tony Blair on this one. If you're pissing off a child molester, you must be doing something right.
