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

Customer Reviews

Yet another reason Amazon needs to offer negative stars.
Among the low-lights of this sorry action movie scripted by a dead-monkey's feces, Cindy Crawford outruns and jumps on to a speeding train. Meanwhile, Billy Baldwin is going about 80 on a car and can't catch up to the train! Cindy has some legs to be able to run about 100 miles per hour. Come on, we've come far enough that movies should not have unintentional mistakes in them. This one will remind you of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" only not quite as cerebral. Add the business-as-usual action, the unbelievable (as in bad) acting, especially from the supermodel, and the fact that it is just plain BORING. Cindy'll never work for Hollywood again. (hopefully)

Cindy should stick to modeling.
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.

Oooops!
Hi Cindy, I am one of the four people who watched your movie Fair Game. I hope you will never work for Hollywood again. When I woke up I had to recognize that the other three guys had carried me out into the refreshing rain. That was good!
