Fair Game (1995)

Rate: 3
Viewed: 1/08

1/08: I guess the producers' thinking behind the need for Cindy Crawford is her tits, hence the selling point of Fair Game.

What a brilliant stroke of masterpiece. Anyway, it's a terrible movie despite having some good action sequences, but the last twenty minutes kills it big time. The only saving grace is William Baldwin, but he alone isn't enough to save the picture from being such a bomb. Speaking of that, when Cindy Crawford's character got blown out of her house into the water, it's remarkable to see how pretty her face still was.

The plot makes zero sense. Two questions occurred to me during the last ten minutes. Why didn't the bad guys get away in boat from the state of Florida after accomplishing their mission? When the bad guys apprehended Kate McQuean, why didn't they kill her right away if that's the purpose?

I can see the KGB has a technology advantage over the Americans by being so wicked smart with computers. So, why don't the agents make the changes to the information about boats? That way, they can render McQuean useless. Meanwhile, it's a surprise to see how well Baldwin's character, a city flatfoot, has managed to elude the bad guys who are highly trained in covert operations.

All in all, Fair Game is like drinking milk: it takes time before you realize it had gone sour long before then.
