Spartan

SPARTAN (2004) - July 7, 2005
A well made thriller about a Marine who tries to rescue the president's daughter. Features a lot of twists, and a lot of the sort of strange dialogue Mamet is known for. It's also interesting in that there is almost no exposition; Mamet never really explains anything to the audience, it all just basically unfolds. That could have been bad, but it worked. Val Kilmer was really good in the main role, as was pretty much everyone else in the movie. ***
