From acclaimed and Academy Award-nominated director and writer David Mamet ("Hannibal," "The Untouchables") comes this taut action-thriller starring Val Kilmer ("Wonderland," "Red Planet") and Oscar-nominated William H. Macy ("Seabiscuit", TV's "Door To Door"). A special ops officer and his protégé are recruited to investigate the kidnapping of the president's daughter, but the deeper they dig into her disappearance, the more they uncover a dangerous conspiracy that goes up to the highest levels of the U.S. government.

Top Critics' Reviews

Rotten: Spartan is the same old stuff, but now it's been thoroughly Mametized, like a spray-on treatment you could spritz out of a can. – Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com, Jul 7, 2010

Fresh: The real violence, as is always the case with Mamet, lies not in the mayhem but in the thrusting rhythms of the dialogue. – Peter Rainer, New York Magazine, Mar 31, 2006

Fresh: Both technically accomplished and moderately entertaining. – Andrew Sarris, New York Observer, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: Is Spartan a perfect, or even a great, movie? Probably not. But in its prickly irascibility and deeply unsettling intelligence, it makes for a very, very good one. – Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post, Jul 16, 2008

Excellent.

Unless you hate Val Kilmer this is a brillant movie.Writing,pace,acting,directing...everything works.In a world of so so movies this one delievers the goods.I was stunned to read someone didn t love it.The perfect thriller.And Kilmer is excellent.

Total waste of time

Terrible acting, poor story line, ridiculous plot. Absolute waste of time to watch.

Please save your money and time.

I truly believe that the production company knew just how terrible this movie was so they really jazzed up the previews/trailers to make it look 10 times better than the movie actually is.

Don't waste your time and money.

Good luck.
