I viewed the film "Spartan" last week on DVD from a rental at Howard Hughes Video and was blown away. I love all of film director David Mamet's work, and his skill as a playwright provides a dimension many modern movies lack in the sophistication and literary value of the script. This film obliquely tackles the controversial tactics of the war on terror (my interpretation), and gives insight into the mind of a sophisticated but brutal military approach to the cruelty and ethical duplicity inherent in this subject. I recommend this film highly.<BR>
