Amazon.com:
Writer-director David Mamet (House of Games, The Spanish Prisoner) applies his gift for con games to the world of politics with Spartan. A super-duper Secret Service agent (Val Kilmer, Wonderland) is assigned to find the kidnapped daughter of the President of the United States; was she kidnapped because of who she is, or as part of white slavery ring? Is she dead or alive? To find out the answers, Kilmer puts on disguises, engages in elaborate ruses, and kills ruthlessly--only to discover that he himself may be the one being fooled. Mamet pushes his macho/cryptic dialogue into laughably bad territory and some plot twists seriously test one's suspension of disbelief, but that's part of the game; like any con artist, Mamet knows how to hook you and reel you in, no matter how absurd things get. Also featuring Derek Luke, William H. Macy, and Ed O'Neill. --Bret Fetzer

Secret Serviceman extra-ordinnaire Val Kilmer tries to retrieve a kidnapped politician's daughter in this surprisingly-good thriller.
There isn't a lot of violence in this modern day tough rescue story, but when it occurs, look out! Kilmer is very good in here, one of his best performances ever and the film is nicely photographed. The only warning I would give viewers is the language, which contains about 25 f-words.
The best plug I can give this film is that it was very ... Read More

I like the way the workings of "the unit" and spy stuff is just presented without explanation. A lot of nods and understood things without abnormal explanatory dialog explaining everything that would never occur in real life unless they were in the presence of politicians, managers or other complete idiots. It's a very good spy film, believable and shocking. Makes old Jack Baur look like a Boy Scout, which is a good thing. They didn't have whoop-de-doo electronics that are fake (like 24 does some), ...

It's a David Mamet movie. Enough said.
Well I'll ramble on for a moment here because I do like this movie.
If this flick was supposed to be based on real events -or "real events", or had a message, or was popular with rightwingers, or--God spare us--moronically depicted torture as a vital and reliable way to gather informationa and save countless lives from immanent doom--then it would suck in my book. I have very mixed feelings, you might say, on movies depicting the military ... Read More

This is tightly written and edited down to the final shot. It is flab-free, and if your belief must be suspended here and there, the entertainment quotient makes it worth it. Val Kilmer kills as the super SS agent, searching for the daughter of, the president? We are never told outright. That's one of the charms here. A great way to spend two hours. Watch this.

For some reason David Mamet has been wildly overpraised as 1st a playwright, then a filmmaker. This is not to say that he's not good, & better than typical playwrights & filmmakers, just that he's not nearly as good as others think he is. Spartan is a good example of typical Mamet- better than your typical thriller, yet still missing something.
The film stars the up & down Val Kilmer as a man named Scott- 1 of the peripatetic Men In Black sorts who freelance dangerous work for assorted government ... Read More
