Spartan - 6

This is a very good secret agent/thriller film. Written and directed by David Mamet, who does a good job of making the audience work at figuring the film out, rather than having characters explain the movie. The film is really about the main character's search for meaning in his job as a secret agent with a license to kill. As he gets more involved one particular case, the kidnapping of a girl by a prostitution ring, he realizes that his job is more than just following orders. He comes to know that life is not just a system that will work itself out naturally, it will take honorable decisions and integrity for people to be a force for change in the right direction.
