Best movie of this year hands down!
Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
An Exercise In Nonsense
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Miami police detective Max Kirkpatrick (William Baldwin) is dumped by his angry ex Rita (Salma Hayek). Civil lawyer Kate McQuean (Cindy Crawford) gets nicked by a stray bullet and gets interviewed by Max. Kate uses a maritime law loophole to seize a freighter in a divorce case. The problem is that it's owned by criminal Emilio Juantorena where ex-KGB Colonel Ilya Pavel Kazak and his Russian team operate their high-tech criminal enterprises. They blow up Kate's home. She survives and given police protection. When they attack again, Max escapes with Kate.The plot is really basic and is only an excuse for most of the movie to be a chase. Everybody is piling on to make fun of Cindy Crawford's acting. I've seen worst. For a model, her acting is passable. The movie is simply asking too much from her to be the lead actress. She doesn't really act as much as she can walk and talk. I actually like her when she's punching Max in the face but then the movie forces them to make out in the next moment. There are major problems but most of it is in the script. There is lots of action and explosions to cover up any actual acting in the movie. If anything, it's too overloaded with action and makes this a laughable mess.
Garbage thriller notable only for the brief nudity of star Cindy Crawford. You kids today won't remember but this was a pretty big deal at the time among teenage boys. It's pretty tame by today's standards I guess. The movie itself is some thrown together by-the-numbers story about a cop (the always slimy William Baldwin) protecting a lawyer (Crawford) from a Russian out to kill her for a pretty stupid reason. If you're not interested in Crawford's looks there really is nothing to recommend about this. If you are interested, Cindy is certainly gorgeous throughout the picture, despite her limited acting ability. If you insist upon watching this I suggest muting it and keeping your free hand on the fast-forward button.
This movie was perhaps not the most accurate when it comes to effects, cars don't explode when they make contact with stationary objects, but isn't movies some entertainment? The movie caught on quite quickly, no slogging with getting to know characters just some prime action directly. Cindy isn't perhaps the most capable actress but she is fair to look at. I liked the movie, it tickled some laughs and gave my some entertaining moments. I rate this much higher than a lot of drama that seems to be the only thing people like these days. I might have things go another way if I where to shoot this movie, but the action was good, even though it was predictable sometimes.
I don't why "Fair Game" got such a harsh critique. I thought the cast choices were great. Billy Baldwin playing a tough cop, and Cindy Crawford as a lawyer. This movie was action-packed, and a thrill-seeker as well. I liked the train scene when the cop and lawyer got on, and the Caddy sacrificed itself at the pole. Going after the KGB is an extreme task, especially when these agents are extreme themselves. Killing everyone in their path, targeting anyone they first lay eyes on. At first, both Kate(Crawford) and Max(Baldwin) don't get along too well. But when the rogue KGB starts targeting people, and killing Kate's sister, that's when the two began to trust one another. Some scenes remind me of "The Gauntlet" and "The Joshua Tree". The action of the movie is just right, I don't see what the big deal was. Perhaps when a model decides to go into acting, expect a lot of typecasting in the making. I don't see it that way, Cindy Crawford did fine there. I don't care what the critics say, this movie was fine, not in the theaters, but at home, it's a hit! 3 out of 5 stars!
