The Spanish Prisoner is a suspense film about a loyal employee, who is part of an elaborate confidence game, the Spanish prisoner. No one is who they really seem.
For an older movie, I guess it was not as bas as I had expected it to be. The entire plot did really surprise me at one point, and how the FBI was just another part of the scheme. I should have figured because then the movie just would have been too short. I did however, expect the main character Joe Ross' friend Susan to end up turning it all around on him and stabbing him in the back. It would have all just been too good to be true if she would have helped him.I really enjoyed how the "bad guy" of the movie, Steven Martin, and his well thought out play to steel Ross work. I really enjoy movies that have a heist or robbery of some sort.
A big thing I really did not like was how the Japanese tourists t the end of the movie, who were really cops, acted oblivious to the fact that Steve Martin was holding gun at Ross on the ferry. If any normal citizen was on the ferry and saw that I'm pretty sure they would freak out. They should have at least acted like that because I'm also sure anyone with the gun would be super sketched out either way. I don't think there would ever be a criminal so confident.
