This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
i fail to see why this movie has such a low rating on this site(3.7/10).and i also seem to remember critics blasting it.again,i fail to see why.for me,Fair game is an intense,exciting chase movie.so what if it's generic and not that original.to me,it's more about what you do with the material.in this case,the filmmakers made an entertaining movie.it even had some funny one liners.and the stakes in this movie are a bit higher.the bad guys are not your typical bad guys.they're smart and deadly and have no problem killing people.William Baldwin plays Max,a cop who must protect Kate,(Cindy Crawford)a high powered attorney who has angered the wrong people.from this point,the movie is basically a high intensity chase down to the wire.William Baldwin does a good job,but that's not surprising.Cindy Crawford,not having acted before,did a fine job as well.she was i think the brunt of the criticism of this movie,and undeservedly.there are many actresses out there who are much worse than she is in this film.unfortunately her acting career ended before it began thanks to unfair critics and movie goers.if i were a filmmaker,i would cast her in a film,but then i saw potential where almost nobody else does.but that just shows how shortsighted people are.for me, Fair Game is easily an 8/10
This was by far one of the worst films ever made. Money definitely should have been spent on some acting lessons. The plot was needing of well ANYTHING and there was no chemistry between the actors. There was a lot of things being blown up unfortunately none of them was the film itself. Cindy Crawford is of course a beautiful center piece but her acting is so strained there is no emotional connection with her acting partners or with the audience. Baldwin also bombed in having any kind of real or believable connection with his scene partners. I actually walked out of this movie because it was so painful. Some really good films would be Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo in the "Thomas Crown Affair" or a more comical film like "True Lies"
Fair Game is one of those films that teaches you things you never realised were true until it happened on screen. Things like this:Explosions that blow up a mansion, and send someone flying into the water never leave a mark on that person. But they will have blood on their clothes, irregardless.Teams of expert assassins can be beaten by one cop.It's not humanly possible for a bad guy to kill someone without using a one-liner first. This may explain why they don't feel any remorse.Cars blow up on impact, regardless of where the impact is and what the impact is with. Unless of course our hero is in the car, in which case, it just catches fire.Perfect looking fake IDs aren't necessarily done with the use of any computers.Letters that look like 3s, but aren't, are found by typing in '3' into the computer.Employees of small stores swear freely and loudly while on the phone in the store.Continuity is not important. It can easily flow from late afternoon, before the sun starts to set at all, to well after the sun has set, in a matter of seconds.Choppers can't be heard over bad sex scene music and Cindy Crawford's disinterested moaning.Cops leave the safety off when they put their gun away.Trained assassins watch their target do a random Baldwin brother instead of actually doing their job.A bomb counts down from 2 minutes 57 seconds to 1 minute 47 seconds in just under 15 seconds. That bomb then proceeds to blow up everything except the room the bomb is located in.
This review contains extra bits of the plot! The heroine, played by Cindy Crawford as Miss Mcqueen is shot on Orlando Drive, while jogging. A cop, played by William Baldwin who is supposed to be Sergeant Kirkpatrick, is publicly humiliated by his girlfriend (played by Salmek Hayek), in a police station, before he has to interview Cindy Crawford. She goes home after a quick trip back to the office and just when Kirkpatrick shows up to get something signed, her house gets blown up by the Russians. This is when Steven Berkoff steps in to attack Baldwin and Crawford. A chase ensues because through a computer, they can track the couple's every movement. The baddies kill two police cops at a safehouse, several f.b.i. agents, bash two computer salesmen, and generally create mayhem. In the end, Crawford gets captured, and Baldwin comes to the save the day. The ship explodes with the remainder of the baddies, including Berkoff and that wraps up the film. It is quite a short film, with the British version lasting nearly an hour and a half. It also plays in widescreen and looks like a good but dud film of that era. If you like action, you will like this.
