Title: This is Action mamet style
Review: David mamet has a true gift for dialog, Look at alot of his films. They just have an undeniable style to them. Spartan is about an gov't agen who likes to do things his own way played very well by Val Kilmer. Who decides to go look for the president's daughter who has been kidnapped. But little does this know that this who thing goes all the way to the oval office. What made this film refeshing in the terse dialog between the characters. They may not say much but you understand what they are trying to say. After seeing this i am starting to think that Val Kilmer is an underrated actor. he gives a very good performance. As with mamet regulars William H. Macy and Ed O'Neil gives a very good yet understated performance. This is a political thriller for people who like to think and this is action mamet style.
