Review of Spartan

Spartan (2004)
7/10
Sparse Thriller worth your time
19 April 2006
A sparse thriller with Kilmer (william H macy) and a bunch of people you won't have seen before.

It is worth it purely because anything Mamet does is worth a look.

The film is a based around the disappearance of the daughter of someone important. There are a number of twists; and some you find believable and some you don't.

The twists themselves are enjoyable and the way the film deviates from "cookie cutter" films and is worth it on its own merit.

There are a couple of flaws and some of the acting (and even the writing) is a little stiff in places, but definitely engaging enough for a look!
