The Spanish Prisoner shares with Glengarry Glen Ross a vision of life as a cosmic con game in which the victimizers feed the fantasies of the victims.

This is probably Mamet's most purely enjoyable film since the gangster comedy Things Change.

Rating: 8/10 --
Mamet plays with our preconceived notions to keep us off-guard and unaware of the machinations unfolding beneath his façade of already questionable activities.

David Mamet has a penchant for sleight-of-hand thrillers, and The Spanish Prisoner is his craftiest to date.
Variety
David Mamet's most consistently enjoyable film to date is a cool, typically clever con-trick drama packed with deliciously inventive twists that get ever more convoluted and unnerving as the plot proceeds.

Mamet brings more than a decade's worth of filmmaking experience to his latest project, and his skill as a director has improved considerably.
