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

1.0 out of 5 stars Cindy should stick to modeling., August 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fair Game (DVD)

Sure, Cindy, you're pretty and all, but please--we prefer you when we don't have to hear you. I'd much rather see you for 5 seconds on the cover of Vogue than spend an 1 hour feeling embarrassed for you on the big screen.

I like Cindy Crawford. I really do. I respect the class she has maintained in an often classless fashion and modeling industry. But some people should stick to what they know.

Cindy, my God! In this movie, you were just in your lovely apartment overlooking the water. Your apartment is then blown up, you are blown off the balcony into the water, your cat is toast and all your possessions are gone. Oh, and by the way, a bunch of very bad people are now trying to shoot you dead. You get out of the cold water, run for your life and get taken to a safe house where the 2nd rate Baldwin asks you `So, how do you feel?' And Cindy says with the intensity of a heroin addict, `Like my life just exploded. What is this place, Motel Hell?' She said it like she was reading the phone book! A real actress would have been looking at the cop like he was nuts! And she would have delivered the lines accordingly. It gets worse...

Did you see the very first scene in the movie where Cindy's character is jogging and gets shot? Did you notice her slowing down to hit her mark and wait for the shot? I've never heard or seen anyone more stilted and lifeless except for a really bored telemarketer.

The writing was just BAD, and the movie was just about look how good Cindy looks after being dumped in water and having no shower. Notice her lips still had color? Did they have the long-lasting stuff back then?

Luckily it wasn't the kind of bad where you can't sit and laugh at it. You can sit and laugh at this one. In fact, you don't have a choice.

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

This review is from: Fair Game [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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.
