Description

From the director of The Bourne Identity comes this riveting thriller inspired by the experiences of real-life CIA officer Valerie Plame (Academy Award® nominee** Naomi Watts). When Plame's retired ambassador husband Joe Wilson (Academy Award® winner** Sean Penn) writes a newspaper article challenging the basis for the U.S. war on Iraq, the White House leaks Plame's undercover status—leaving her international contacts vulnerable, her career in shambles and her life in danger. Crackling with sharp dialogue, gripping intrigue and heart-pounding suspense, Fair Game is the adventure that's so unbelievable, it can only be real.

  • Strong acting - lousy script

    Rarely have I seen a movie based on true events that requires the viewer to consult background material in order to understand what it is about. Strong acting, a great cast, lack of action scenes, and a script that is as uninspiring as they come. Apparently, there was no budget to run the movie a few seconds longer to tell us what happened at the hearing we get a glimpse of at tne end. Very sad failure of a movie. The hard working, honest cast deserved much better.

  • Highily Accurate, Great Movie

    Based on a true story. Watts and Penn are brilliant. This is a highly accurate story of a CIA NOC operative and spouse who provided information that should have stopped a war but were thwarted by an administration determined to lie in order to have their war. It was the worst White House travesty since Watergate and it cost thousands of lives, plus it involved bald-faced treason on the part of the administration. The writing, direction, acting and production are all first-rate. Along with All the President's Men, Good Night and Good Luck, and the Missiles of October, Fair Game should be required viewing for all high school students.

  • Great movie!

    Wasted my $.99 on this movie. At the start, it droned on and on then went straight to ultra violent action. Thought it would be important and informative, but unfortunately I didn't feel good about it.

    Theatrically the beginning and end were fast paced. Watts and Penn pull you in from the start. The middle when the White House machine and press coordinated their attacks was frustrating then alarming, then sad. Valerie, Joe and their family are genuine heroes that should have never been put in this situation. Bravo for bravely fighting back against hubris and immorality.

  • Bom filme!

    Bom filme para assistir com os filhos e explicar as relações entre política, poder, interesses, manipulação da opinião pública, ética, ..... com a realidade americana como pano de fundo (prática)!

    STUPID on all levels... Great idea for a movie but the execution failed. Penn is NEVER worth the hype and not even close to the hype. My cat could do better than him.

  • Help!!!!! iTunes
