United States | The New York Times | "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" | POS |
United States | Variety | "The picture is a devilishly clever series of reversals that keeps you guessing to the very end" | POS |
United States | The Washington Post | "David Mamet is an acquired, but delicious, taste" | POS |
United States | Austin Chronicle | "'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" | NEU |
Canada | The Globe and Mail | "Mamet's stylized dialogue, elaborate plot puzzles and the angry cleverness of his characterization makes for an invigorating, if not exactly likeable, mix." | POS |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "'The Spanish Prisoner' is the smoothest and most convincing of Mamet's elaborate charades and features intriguing performances by Steve Martin and Campbell Scott" | POS |
