Review of Fair Game (2010) by Everett J — 23 Apr 2011
I loaned this to my Dad and he refused to watch it once he read what it was about and that it starred Sean Penn. Now, I'm not a bleeding heart liberal(no matter what my friend Billy says), but I definitely sway more liberal than conservative.
This moving leans way more left than right, but the story is geared that way. Whether or not it's all accurate to what really happened is up for debate, but the movie is engaging enough to make you not care.
Penn and Watts give great performances in a film that could have been very boring, and parts of it are, but they keep you interested to the end. As far as political thrillers go, this is top notch. Not for everyone, but watch it with an open mind and you will probably get caught up in the acting.
No matter your political affiliation, you will probably be entertained if you want an intelligent thriller that asks tough questions that don't always present easy answers.
