Fair Game

Rarely have I seen a movie based on true events that requires the viewer to consult background material in order to understand what it is about. Strong acting, a great cast, lack of action scenes, and a script that is as uninspiring as they come. Apparently, there was no budget to run the movie a few seconds longer to tell us what happened at the hearing we get a glimpse of at tne end. Very sad failure of a movie. The hard working, honest cast deserved much better.

Based on a true story. Watts and Penn are brilliant. This is a highly accurate story of a CIA NOC operative and spouse who provided information that should have stopped a war but were thwarted by an administration determined to lie in order to have their war. It was the worst White House travesty since Watergate and it cost thousands of lives, plus it involved bald-faced treason on the part of the administration. The writing, direction, acting and production are all first-rate. Along with All the President's Men, Good Night and Good Luck, and the Missiles of October, Fair Game should be required viewing for all high school students.

This movie will be a historical classic.

Wasted my $.99 on this movie. At the start, it droned on and on then went straight to ultra violent action. Thought it would be important and informative, but unfortunately I didn't feel good about it.

Don't bother Star power the only attraction

Long, boring and completely left wing biased. Waste of time.

Theatrically the beginning and end were fast paced. Watts and Penn pull you in from the start. The middle when the White House machine and press coordinated their attacks was frustrating then alarming, then sad. Valerie, Joe and their family are genuine heroes that should have never been put in this situation. Bravo for bravely fighting back against hubris and immorality.

Bom filme para assistir com os filhos e explicar as relações entre política, poder, interesses, manipulação da opinião pública, ética, ..... com a realidade americana como pano de fundo (prática)!

STUPID on all levels... Great idea for a movie but the execution failed. Penn is NEVER worth the hype and not even close to the hype. My cat could do better than him.

Why can't I rent this movie?
