Review of Fair Game (2010) by Dankwa B — 31 Aug 2011
A film based on Valerie Plame Wilson and Joseph Wilson's biographies regarding the White House's leak of her identity as a CIA operative. It's well done by Director Doug Liman, well acted, and the story is compelling.
This wasn't just about a woman losing her career. This was about the National Security of the United States, a White House out to blame the CIA for the Iraq War and muzzle dissent, and the lives of innocent agents in the field who suffered as a result of this political hatchet job.
The film heightens the stakes of what was for many a Washington talking heads story into something that was far more dangerous.
