- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Mamet's stylized dialogue, elaborate plot puzzles and the angry cleverness of his characterization makes for an invigorating, if not exactly likeable, mix."
-
"This is his sleekest and most engaging film thus far. If you like a good cat-and-mouse game with a keen ear for language, then go"
-
"The picture is a devilishly clever series of reversals that keeps you guessing to the very end"
-
"'The Spanish Prisoner' seems an almost purely theoretical exercise, with Mamet as the con man whose sole goal is to make us believe anything he wants"
-
"'The Spanish Prisoner' is the smoothest and most convincing of Mamet's elaborate charades and features intriguing performances by Steve Martin and Campbell Scott"
