Went to see “Fair Game” in the cinema. Â Unfortunately, it turned out to be a disappointment. Â It felt like the filmmakers couldn’t really decide on what kind of movie they are making. Â There is a bit of a spy movie, which sucked. Â There is a bit of political conspiracy interlinked with a bit of documentary. Â That sucked too. Â There was a brilliant part of family drama. Â But it was only a small fraction of the film without really being linked to the rest of it.
The film is not really fulfilling.  After all that time watching it, I had to ask myself – “what did I really get out of this film?”.  And unfortunately I had to answer – “Nothing”.  It’s not entertaining.  It’s not thought-provoking.  It’s not education.  It’s not emotional.
That’s too bad really. Â Because both Naomi Watts and Sean Pean were involved and acting, trying to make this film better. Â But there was just no base for their acting. Â The storytelling was so bad. Â What is even more surprising is that the director of this film – Doug Liman – for sure knows how to make good movies. Â He proved that with directing both “Bourne Identity” and “Mr. And Mrs. Smith”.
Overall, I’d give this film a 3 out of 5. Â If you really want to see it, don’t waste your money on the cinema. Â There is nothing there that you won’t see on a smaller screen, in the comfort of your home.
