Review of Fair Game (2010) by Cole M — 08 Jan 2012

Fair game huh? For who? Look, one can state their views as to whether or not Iraq was a justified war or not, but the Plames, and this is just my opinion, didn't exactly keep things under wraps and classified. They'd go to parties or throw events themselves and be very vocal about being spies. Also, they were staunch Democrats and the movie does make it clear that Joe Wilson was no fan of the Bush-Cheney administration. One can make the claim whether or not they were innocent people or people who kicked the hornet's nest and deserved what they got.

As a movie though, Doug Liman tries so hard to make it interesting, but while Watts and Penn can act, unless you really sorry for these people, it's a snore.
