DVD Synopsis

David Mamet writes and directs the political thriller Spartan. Respected Secret Service agent Robert Scott (Val Kilmer) is assigned to the kidnapping case of Laura Newton (Kristen Bell), the missing daughter of a high-ranking political figure. Scott is teamed up with rookie Curtis (Derek Luke). Aided by the FBI and the CIA, the team discovers a human trafficking operation that may lead to Laura's kidnappers. Meanwhile, political operative Stoddard (William H. Macy) refuses to cooperate with the rescue mission. Scott and Curtis are forced to quit the investigation when the media reports Laura's death. Believing her to be alive, Curtis is motivated to start up a dangerous unofficial investigation of his own. Spartan premiered at the Bangkok International Film Festival in 2004. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

I had not heard of this Movie till I found it here, liked the idea of the movie and thought I would take a chance on it. I am pleased to say this was the kind of film that works for me, the action is well done. the over all story kept me attached to my Screen moment to moment wondering what was going to happen next ( most times I find myself predicting the next action of a movie cause its what you think it should be. )

A movie to sit back prop your feet up with a bowl of chips ( or popcorn ) and enjoy.

( and yes I just finshed watching it, plan to watch it again. )
