Review of Fair Game (2010) by Rosco — 01 Sep 2011
Most know the story but for those who didn't (somehow?) they are in for a very rude awakening. Focusing on the events and lies that led to the war on Iraq. CIA Operative Valerie Plame's (Naomi Watts) identity is revealed after her husband Jo Wilson (Sean Penn) reveals the truth about the "source" of supposed evidence indicating Iraq was building a WMD programme that ultimately led to the war in Iraq.
Its a stunning politcal thriller. The way the film is set up in ingtriguing and keeps you full of suspense and the depiction of Plume's life before and after the scandal is portrayed remarkably well. Its a fascinating watch and a real eye-opener to the true events that actually occurred and the cover-up/conspiracy that the Government fed us.
Doug Liman is great in the directing chair and once again delivers another fantastic film but the performances od Watts and Penn, who in particular was outstanding, were superb. All in all a terrific politcal thriller that will have you angered, engaged and fascinated all the while.
