Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
She's a lawyer. He's a cop. Some former KGB-types with a wide variety of slippery accents and enough sophisticated technological surveillance gadgets to make one wonder how the Soviet Union could have possibly failed, want her dead. The cop (William Baldwin) is the only man who can save her. It helps that the high-powered attorney is played by Cindy Crawford, who gives new meaning to the phrase "habeas corpus." So the plot doesn't make any sense: First they try to kill her, no questions asked. Then they capture her and spill their guts about all the details of their nefarious plan. But logic is not what Fair Game is about. It's about explosions, car crashes, and more explosions. The only pauses in the action are for showers (one for Baldwin, two for Crawford) and a change of clothing (Crawford slips out of a tight T-shirt into an even tighter tank top). The best feature of the DVD is the addition of a Gallic track. With very little actual sex in the movie, having the main characters conversing in French definitely adds some sauciness to the dialogue scenes. --Richard Natale

Great Movie.......2007-01-09

I like buying these types of movies (One's that are not highly promoted) because they usually have decent story lines. This wasn't a movie where the men were degrading the women or the women shaking their behinds all over the place.

It was a movie of black professionals who were finding their way in their professions and personal lives. A good date movie.

Why??.......2006-12-24

I write this review as I struggle to make myself finish watching this movie. I've talked myself out of stopping it about 3 or 4 times, but I'm no quitter I'm going to persevere until the end. The story line is so disjointed and the characters are disappointingly one dimensional. I've watched some really good independent black films like Love, Sex and Eating the Bones or 30 to Life, but Fair Game so far has been a waste of my time.

Worst movie ever........2006-12-12

I try to support African American movies but when they put out garbage like this I have to let my displeasure be known. The plot was stupid and there was absolutely no chemistry whatsover between the main characters. Even the attempts at comedy were horrible. There was nothing about the characters that made you want to invest in the characters or the storyline. I just wanted the movie to be over with because I kept waiting for something to happen that would make me find some redeemable factor in this movie but nothing. Bad actors, bad acting, bad directing, and terrible writing.

I am so glad it is finally out on DVD!.......2006-11-23

Speaking as someone who was in the film, I admit I am going to be highly biased. Keeping that in mind. I loved working on this film and I loved the script. It is a wonderful romantic comedy and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes that genere.

Work place romances. They can really be tricky. Gina Torres (Serenity) stars in Fair Game as a busy executive named Stacey. Her co-worker Michael is in a transitional period but clearly enjoys their tryst. After asking one of her co-workers to stay late at work they find themselves caught up in a moment of passion she dismisses as a "one time flukish thing." Their one time flukish thing turns into a multi-time thing. When Mike finds himself needing a place to stay he turns to Stacey who has vowed that their affair is a no strings attached thing. Stacey opens her apartment to Mike and let's him stay for a few days. Mike is stuck sleeping on the couch. He wants more from Stacey than she is willing to give. He goes above and beyond to impress her. When a handsome executive starts spending time with Stacey, Michael is really left to ponder what he should do next about the situation.

Fair Game is a very interesting film about a common topic that is not addressed much on the big screen. It's a really great film. Stacey and Michael have a real chemistry, but the prospect of a big promotion and other factors stand in the way of the two of them pursuing a relationship.

Fair Game won several awards on the film festival circuit. Although Gina Torres is probably the most well known cast member, Fair Game features stellar acting from Christopher B. Duncan, Kellita Smith, Michael Whaley, Terri Vaughn, Mother Love and comedian Mark Christopher Lawrence.

i have been known to like what some people consider to be bad movies, and this movie is not exactly casablanca, but i have to say i watch it alot, and i like it. I personally think the scene where he calls the store is hysterical. I would tell other people to watch it, but it is not for all.

Better than I expected after reading the reviews.......2006-08-06

Lots of explosions, a dodgy plot, plenty of electronic gadgets which required a certain amount of blind faith to believe in and a bit of sex (lovely!!!) albeit at an inappropriate moment and interrupted before consumation by the KGB (I hate them). The acting was passable except for that of the KGB which was pretty pathetic but all in all, it wasn't as bad as it was painted. I shall watch it again one day now I have bought it.

AWFUL!!!!.......2005-08-08

I was extremely bored one day and happened to find this DVD lying around. From the opening scene, (was that a bullet, piece of glass, firecracker? she should have just been mugged or something. some better excuse to get her to the police station) I knew I was going to have to endure some low-class acting and that was exactly what it turned out to be. Crawford could have been more believable as a porn star than as a lawyer in the movie. She overacted...or is underacted...and leaves me wondering how on earth this movie went through all the stages that a movie has to go through before it is finally released. The original plot was ok except a bit weak. the fact that the lawyer wanted a boat to go to a client did not warrant the massive manhunt that followed leading to the death of several cops, only to capture her, bore the audience with their explanations and keep her alive long enough for her cop-friend to rescue her.

The sex scene was so ill timed, or am I naive to think that just a minute after surviving shoot-outs, major car crashes and explosions, jumping onto a moving train, jumping off a car that explodes seconds after, someone can immediately be that turned on and have sex?? Baldwin was not too bad except I expected more remorse and grief from a man who had just lost a couple of workmates, a best friend and a cousin in a matter of hours but still managed to crack jokes and be extremely horny.

The star of the movie was Selma Hayek whom we get to see in 2 scenes. Only problem is we don't know why the hell she is so upset with her boyyfriend??????????????

Don't waste your time and money on this one folks! PLEASE!!!!

Just No Brainer Action.......2005-03-15

Critics slam this because they try to compare it to "Witness", "The Client" or some other movie with better actors and a more plausible storyline. Personally I think Baldwin and Crawford have a chemistry and it and the screenplay works. Just go into it without any preconceptions and you will probably find it a decent action movie. Fair acting, great special effects, and good music make this worth checking out.

When a civil lawyer played by Crawford demands her client get a ship in international waters, she puts herself on the hitlist of a group of Ex-KGB assassins. Using high tech equipment they track her every move and attempt to kill her. In steps a cop played by Baldwin to try and help her survive long enough to get into witness protection. He almost single handedly takes out all the Russian terrorists. Good picture and sound quality but no extras. I picked it up for a little more than the cost of a rental.

Description

In this knuckle-biting thriller, Eva (Trudie Styler) is trapped in her Los Angeles apartment, terrorized by a deadly, hormonally berserk African snake planted by her estranged husband, Gene (Gregg Henry). Henry is cleverly diabolical as a bad guy that Variety calls a "pleasure to hate." Styler, the wife of rock star Sting, mesmerizes as Eva, a vulnerable sculptress, betrayed and alone, suddenly forced into a battle for her life.

MAMBA MIA.......2005-10-14

Basically a two character drama, FAIR GAME is the chilling story of a psychotic ex-husband who seeks a deadly revenge on the wife who spawned him...he places a deadly black mamba in her apartment, locks her in, and kills her phones so she can't call for help. Trudie Styles, the lovely wife of rock star Sting, has the demanding role of the threatened wife and although she's not a Meryl Streep by any means, she handles her role adequately. Smarmy Gregg Henry (the villain from BODY DOUBLE) does well as the sicko husband, and the snake, well, he's pretty good too. The movie has some suspenseful moments and a trick ending. Giorgio Moroder contributes his typical electronic score which is effective, although the TAKE MY BREATH AWAY clone theme song is a little too much. All in all, though, a nice little thriller.

Slitheringly Suspensful Thriller.......2001-03-02

Fair Game is a movie that can easily be slept on because its a low budget film with a small and fairly unknown cast. Nevertheless, being that the film is mainly focused on a woman(Trudie Styler) being stalked in her windowless loft by an extremely venomous snake while her possesive ex-husband(Gregg Henry), who purposely locked her in, tracks the progress of this life-threatening predator vs. prey game via electronic sensors. This hitchcock-like storyline will have you on the edge of your seat. There are some things that could have been better suspense catchers, but I overlooked them seeing that the budget of the film was limited; Yet, your attention span to tolerate the film is unaffected by this(especially seeing that the film is only 83 minutes long).
