A couple of other movie reviews to add to the ones below:

SPARTAN: I'm sure that this will be yet another movie that I absolutely despise and yet others around me will say, "Chris, are you on crack?", but guys, this movie is horribly murky and impossible to follow. Val Kilmer grates on my last nerve. At one point I thought this movie might become good, and then it gets swallowed by its own "cleverness." David Mamet wrote and directed this nowhere-near his best, which is a shame, because I wanted to have another Mamet movie to quote and love.
