The Spanish Prisoner

I watched this movie last night. I'm still waiting for it to make its point. Well, that's a little harsh, and it is a David Mamet film, so you know it has its moments, but it takes too long to get going, and it never really clicks. Besides, the clever machinations come across as a little too clever; the plot twists, given a sober view, would require something like prescience to play out. It crosses too far over the belief border.
