Never trust what you see. When a naïve inventor (Campbell Scott) develops "The Process," a top-secret program guaranteed to make billions for his company, the wolves come out -- to fleece him. David Mamet wrote and directed this twisty mystery with masterful sleight of hand. Powerful performances by Ben Gazarra and Steve Martin, plus plenty of surprises and stings, make The Spanish Prisoner the ultimate con flick.
This is a pretty good show as a backup. The acting by Campbell Scott and Steve Martin is good enough. Felicity Huffman's character is odd at first and it seems that she is a poor actress and too predictable, but, wait, is she, or is she acting? The mystery is good, and the clues are well laid out. Be patient, you may like this one after all. -->Kimball***
