One of the worst movies I've ever seen

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

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.

i fail to see why this movie has such a low rating on this site(3.7/10).and i also seem to remember critics blasting it.again,i fail to see why.for me,Fair game is an intense,exciting chase movie.so what if it's generic and not that original.to me,it's more about what you do with the material.in this case,the filmmakers made an entertaining movie.it even had some funny one liners.and the stakes in this movie are a bit higher.the bad guys are not your typical bad guys.they're smart and deadly and have no problem killing people.William Baldwin plays Max,a cop who must protect Kate,(Cindy Crawford)a high powered attorney who has angered the wrong people.from this point,the movie is basically a high intensity chase down to the wire.William Baldwin does a good job,but that's not surprising.Cindy Crawford,not having acted before,did a fine job as well.she was i think the brunt of the criticism of this movie,and undeservedly.there are many actresses out there who are much worse than she is in this film.unfortunately her acting career ended before it began thanks to unfair critics and movie goers.if i were a filmmaker,i would cast her in a film,but then i saw potential where almost nobody else does.but that just shows how shortsighted people are.for me, Fair Game is easily an 8/10

Supermodel Cindy Crawford launches her star movie career,and promptly crashes it in FAIR GAME.The premise to begin with is heavily far-fetched as we're supposed to accept La Crawford as a high-flying lawyer in trouble with ex-KGB baddies intending to exterminate her at all cost over some nonsense concerning a boat belonging to an associate,while would-be macho cop Billy Baldwin is on hand to protect our Cindy when the ensuing mayhem starts.And what mayhem! The above is the basic plot line,thin even for a routine one-hour TV episode.Perhaps unconsciously realising this,the film's makers decide to pad it out with as much absurd,ludicrous and hilariously over-the-top action as possible,with barely the slightest concern for intelligence,wit,or logical plot development.Crawford herself looks predictably lovely in various states of skimpy dress or undress,but this is the only positive aspect of her performance;when it comes to delivering the admittedly hackneyed dialogue,she struggles terribly and embarrasses herself,as mostly does her leading man Baldwin.Steven Berkoff is mildly enjoyable in yet another variation on his innumerable mad Soviet-style villains,but his hammy,bellowing visage becomes tiresome.The film's only assured performance comes in a cameo from Salma Hayek,as a former beau of Baldwin's.Ms Hayek would've been a better choice than Crawford as the leading lady;she is criminally wasted in this tiny role.Cindy C as a lawyer broke credulity barely as the film started;if anything,it goes even more downhill from there as Berkoff and Co.(thanks to sophisticated computer tracking devices) are remarkably clever at tracking the exact point and time wherever Cindy and Billy happen to be,but despite the couple being armed with little more than a token gun and their fists (though in Cindy's case,her breasts,which are teasingly present underneath tight-fitting t-shirts),they are hopelessly inept at bumping off their prey,despite seemingly having the equivalent of the entire world's military hardware to hurl at them! Aside from the odd scratch here and there and mussed-up hair,the hero and heroine amazingly survive their ordeal unscathed.With such dumbness present,FAIR GAME could've been enjoyed as a no-brain action thriller had there been any sort of chemistry with the two leads and better dialogue.Since it fails dismally on most of these and other points,it is barely watchable,and Cindy Crawford has not starred in any film since.She has however,performed adequately in supporting roles (her appearance on US sitcom THIRD ROCK FROM THE SUN received unexpected praise in some quarters) in other films and TV programmes.Cindy Crawford is a great supermodel,an acceptable small-part actress,but not a leading actress.Perhaps even Cindy realises that now.Rating:2 and a half out of 10.

This review contains extra bits of the plot! The heroine, played by Cindy Crawford as Miss Mcqueen is shot on Orlando Drive, while jogging. A cop, played by William Baldwin who is supposed to be Sergeant Kirkpatrick, is publicly humiliated by his girlfriend (played by Salmek Hayek), in a police station, before he has to interview Cindy Crawford. She goes home after a quick trip back to the office and just when Kirkpatrick shows up to get something signed, her house gets blown up by the Russians. This is when Steven Berkoff steps in to attack Baldwin and Crawford. A chase ensues because through a computer, they can track the couple's every movement. The baddies kill two police cops at a safehouse, several f.b.i. agents, bash two computer salesmen, and generally create mayhem. In the end, Crawford gets captured, and Baldwin comes to the save the day. The ship explodes with the remainder of the baddies, including Berkoff and that wraps up the film. It is quite a short film, with the British version lasting nearly an hour and a half. It also plays in widescreen and looks like a good but dud film of that era. If you like action, you will like this.
