"Spartan" a film by David Mamet
This movie came out about 5 years ago, and I caught it while it was in theatres, but it wasn't in theatres very long. I thought it was great. It's a really gritty look at Special Ops, and it's a good kidnapping/mystery movie. It's got a lot of action an suspense. Plus, Val Kilmer's character "USMC Master Gunnery Sergeant Robert Scott" makes Jason Bourne look like a Cub Scout. Has anyone else seen this movie? I'd be very interested to hear what others think of it.

I've looked for that movie since I found out about it.
I guess I'll have to resort to Amazon. Thanks for the reminder.

"Spartan" is possibly the most serious espionage films I've ever seen.
Perhaps DeNiro's "Ronin" could give it a run for it's money, but it's really tough to beat "Spartan". David Mamet is known for writing dialog, and this movie delivers. I quote this movie all the time - perhaps not as much as "Tombstone", but it's close. The action sequences were designed by Eric Haney - former CSM of Delta Force - it's the real deal.

I saw the movie when it came out and I was impressed. Very well done, and I generally hate Kilmer's work. It's funny you mention this, i just noticed the other day that its available on my netflix instant view, so i popped it into my queue.
