Fair Game - Political Thriller


Fair Game - This movie based on true incidents which occurred during President Bush's time made by Doug Liman the director who gave us 'The Bourne Identity' , 'Mr and Mrs.Smith' 'Jumper' etc comes up with another fast paced thriller a political one at that and he seems to be an expert about movies about Spies/Under covers and the results surely are an interesting fare to watch.

This one is a gripping story based on the true incidents about the exposure of Valerie Plame , the wife of US senator Joe Wilson , as a CIA undercover agent by the Bush Administration.It shows the mechanism of power and how power can be misused rather abused to the lowest degree for some people's selfish and stupid benefits and I think this is a global phenomenon which is extremely unfortunate but loved the fact the fight they put up against the ruling power and makes it a real fascinating movie to watch.Though this one is a political thriller but let me tell you not once will you the pace slow or too many dialogues happening at the same time must say a very tight and interesting script.

Coming to performances full marks to Naomi Watts and Sean Pean i could feel their disappointment which was so well conveyed by their expressions alone this is what great actors are made of not just strutting in designer clothes and having zero size figures.

Fair Game is a timely reminder of the abuse of governmental power and the lives of innocent people that are caught in the crosswinds. This one is a powerful film that forces us to relive the outrage of those days when government deception was an everyday occurrence.

Final Word - One of the best political movies I have seen of late ...go for it...
