Review of Spartan

Spartan (2004)
3/10
Awfule dialogue, a effort worthy of Mamet
4 May 2007
We saw 10 minutes of this film.

Val Kilmer spouts more of that Mametesque tripe called dialogue as a super-secret agent type guy that is in a world class of his own. Does this sound like a pulp novel? Yes indeedy.

Avoid this lemon unless you liked Mamet's other directing efforts, where you are shown what a clever, clever man he is and how twisty turny the real world really is or at least is when you try really really hard.

Avoid this director unless you are completely anal and entirely ignorant of how humans communicate (as opposed to Mamet's fictional ones).
