From writer/director David Mamet comes the political thriller Spartan. When the daughter of an American politician is kidnapped the secret service calls in black ops specialist Robert Scott to find her. Starring Val Kilmer, William H. Macy, Ed O'Neill, and Kristen Bell, the film has an impressive cast. And, Mamet does an excellent job at creating tension and suspense. However, there's a certain ambiguity to the plot that muddies things up a bit. While it has some weaknesses, Spartan is still a smart thriller that's full of excitement and intrigue.

David Mamet creates films that continue to twist and turn but that's the fun of he's films. Spartan isn't for everyone but I loved the story and the character val Kilmer created. The plot is so intricate and weaving you really don't know where it is heading. Mamet has smart dialogue which to most people will come across corny to the unknown of he's work. You never really know what the case is for the best part of the film. The idea of a character questioning orders for the first time is nothing new but Kilmer has a character so bent on the truth he uncovers something much deeper. These type of films reward the viewer with a story and character creation. The depth may throw a lot of people away but if you stick with the film it's rewarding. The ending is just amazing
