Famed playwright David Mamet (the guy who wrote Glengarry Glenross) delivers another great film. This kidnapping film has enough twists and turns for the suspense junkies and is so well-written that it even manages to make Val Kilmer look good. My grade: B+
Synopsis: Robert Scott is a career military officer working in a highly secretive special operations force. A man hardened by years of brutal service, he is respected by his peers and elders in the world of espionage. When Scott is recruited to find Laura Newton, the daughter of a high-ranking government official, he is paired with novice Curtis, who becomes his protégé. Working with a special task force comprised of Presidential Advisors, the Secret Service, FBI and CIA, Scott and Derek stumble upon a white slavery ring, which may have some connection to Laura's disappearance.

I was very surprised by this movie and did not pay close enough attention to who wrote it. I never saw it in theaters, but was pleasantly wurprised when I rented it.
