Review of Spartan (2004) by Bruce G — 11 Sep 2007
David Mamet is one of the worst movie directors alive. Heist was incomprehensible crap - Spartan is just crap. Only about 15 minutes at the end of the movie was somewhat OK - but the beginning and the middle part were brainless. There was some nice political cover-up scheme at the end of the movie and Swedish reporters who spoke English. I didn't know that English is native-language in Sweden?! Save your sanity and stay away from Spartan and Heist.
Val Kilmer was OK as a marine sergeant who tried to search president's daughter, but he could not save movie from it's rotten screenplay.
David Mamet should get a day job.
