Title: Spartan
Rating: R

Year of Release: 2004

Running Time: 107 minutes
Studio: Warner Brothers
Back of the Box:
FBI, CIA, Secret Service, Black Ops.
Robert Scott is all of these. And none of these. His newest assignment:
find the possibly kidnapped daughter of a high government official before
the story leaks.
That assignment provides the frame
to which filmaker David Mamet (Hannibal, Glengarry Glen Ross) adds
suspense, bold twists, his trademark flair for dialogue and the acting
of a superb ensemble to create a film "that stands with the best work he's
done. Political thrillers don't come any better" (David Sterritt, The
Christian Science Monitor). Val Kilmer plays Scott, the off-the-books
special agent who's deep undercover and, little does he know, deeper in
danger. Fall in step with Scott and let the story reveal itself as he lives
it. And if he survives it. Expect the unexpected.
Notes: There is an audio commentary on the DVD that is
done only by Val Kilmer, and is suprisingly missing writer/director David
Mamet.
