Spartan (2004): 7 stars (on rewatch)
I’ve seen this film at least half a dozen times.
5 point base for good political action thriller, with
+1 for not having to watch Rebecca Pidgeon in the Tia Texada role, and
+3 for Mametese, and
+1 for rewatchability, and a big
+1 for seeing Ed O’Neill hold his own against Bill Macy and Val Kilmer, but with
-4 points for suffering through Mamet directing Mametese dialogue
Recommendation: Buy it
