She's a lawyer. He's a cop. Some former KGB-types with a wide variety of slippery accents and enough sophisticated technological surveillance gadgets to make one wonder how the Soviet Union could have possibly failed, want her dead. The cop (William Baldwin) is the only man who can save her. It helps that the high-powered attorney is played by Cindy Crawford, who gives new meaning to the phrase "habeas corpus." So the plot doesn't make any sense: First they try to kill her, no questions asked. Then they capture her and spill their guts about all the details of their nefarious plan. But logic is not what Fair Game is about. It's about explosions, car crashes, and more explosions. The only pauses in the action are for showers (one for Baldwin, two for Crawford) and a change of clothing (Crawford slips out of a tight T-shirt into an even tighter tank top). The best feature of the DVD is the addition of a Gallic track. With very little actual sex in the movie, having the main characters conversing in French definitely adds some sauciness to the dialogue scenes. --Richard Natale

From The New Yorker

Cindy Crawford's screen début (she plays a lawyer on the run-God knows why-from former K.G.B. agents) is a true disaster from start to finish. She has the impressive physical qualities that James Cameron finds so attractive in his action heroines, but her voice, like Keanu Reeves's, is inflectionless. It doesn't matter much, anyway-the abominable screenplay is filled with zingers on the order of "My job is like the toilet: it ain't over till the paperwork's done." Not all the bad acting is Crawford's (who, at least, is game); William Baldwin and Steven Berkoff do their share, too. Directed, with tremendous explosions, by Andrew Sipes. -Bruce Diones

1.0 out of 5 stars At least you can re-use video tapes, June 2, 2000

I'm not sure what the producers had in mind when they decided to make this movie. If all they thought was, "OK, we have Cindy Crawford in a movie, so let's just have her wear tight clothes and film her a lot," I guess they succeeded. If they were trying to make a real movie, they didn't.

It's hard to believe that Cindy Crawford actually beat out anyone to win this part. Watching the movie, you almost feel bad for her. She's just in way over her head. I also don't understand why she's screaming throughout the entire movie.

William Baldwin gives his typical performance: not great, not horrible.

The storyline was silly and very uninteresting. A 2nd Grader has more imagination than the writers of this movie had.

I suppose that if you really hated Cindy Crawford for some reason, you'd enjoy watching her try to act in this film. Other than that, it's not good for much else.

Perhaps the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 robots would have a good time with this one, but you won't.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheesy but...., August 12, 2003

By	"sezna2000" (NYC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fair Game (DVD)

The acting is mechanical, and the plot was written by space aliens. Incredibly, there are some good points to the movie. The graphic violence alone is worth the money. There is also the mandatory love scene. It is basically an R-rated kid movie, because as far as the plot is concerned, it assumes the viewer is a brain-dead zombie who only responds to images of Cindy Crawford. Yes, that would be me. If you are a fan of hers, you just can't miss this brainless piece of.. entertainment. Seriously, it IS fun, but don't expect it to be a deep film. It is one of the shallowest movies ever made. And if those are KGB agents, then I am Michael Jackson.

Well, there was a nude scene, if we look at the good points. Oh, heck! It was impressively poor, so it can't be a dissappointment. I mean, what could you expect!
