[That was odd. Sorry about that.]

I rarely have many objections to Mamet, or for that matter to Val Kilmer. Keep that in mind. Still and all, Spartan measured up. Twice I saw the wires on which the god was lowered from the machine, but the tense taut moments more than carried me through. And who knew Mamet could direct an action movie? It is an action movie. It’s also a spy movie.

Hollywood doesn’t make that many spy movies. It should, if they’re going to be this good.

A Mamet movie without Mrs. Mamet? Inconceivable!

Yes, when I hear lines like "You went through the looking glass. Was it more fun than miniature golf?" and I don't get to see Rebecca Pidgeon, the tears well up from deep inside.
