A review by Wuchak

Written on December 4, 2020

_**Top-of-the-line drama/thriller tackles the afterlife**_

A man suddenly discovers that he's a ghost (Patrick Swayze) and means to find his killer while protecting his former fiancé (Demi Moore). Tony Goldwyn plays his business partner while Whoopi Goldberg is on hand as a psychic spiritual advisor.

Like all great movies, “Ghost” (1990) takes about 15-20 minutes to establish the characters and then takes off, gripping the viewer until the end. It combines drama, thrills and comedy in its fascinating exploration of the hereafter and is cut from the same cloth as future movies “City of Angels” (1998), “Meet Joe Black” (1998) and “The Sixth Sense” (1999).

While the film’s theology is no deeper than a Jack T. Chick tract and I don’t agree with every jot & titt...

Tony Goldwyn should have been a more popular actor. He was actually pretty exceptional in almost everything he has done but never actually made it to superstar status.

Instead he kind of lingered in supporting actor limbo through the 90s and then kind of disappeared.

It's a shame.

And he's not the only unsung hero in Ghost, Vincent Schiavelli is in it too.

It has a great cast that brings their all to the film.

The script isn't that imaginative, you've seen a few movies like this before, but that never really matters when it's done well....

"Sam" (Patrick Swayze) and his girlfriend "Molly" (Demi Moore) aren't the best at pottery, but they do know how to make a mess! A trip to the theatre to see the Scottish play doesn't end well though, as he is randomly attacked in the street. She's desolate but fortunately his work colleague "Carl" (Tony Goldwyn) is on hand to try to help her through the aftermath. What she doesn't know, though, is that "Sam" is stuck in limbo. He can't move on and so must watch her every day life unfold. Quickly, he realises that his old pal is keen on "Molly" and then, even worse, begins to suspect that his death wasn't quite as random as it might have seemed. How can he talk to her; warn her? Well that's where the star of the show comes in. "Oda Mae" (Whoopi Goldberg) is a medium who spends her time tell...
