Exposes the evil that walks the corridors of Washington
By RedValleyJohn (136 reviews) from Biggleswade , 29 Mar 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
As years go by , after America and Britain invaded Iraq , its becoming clearer that it's not just Saddam Hussein who was the only an evil leader involved , George W Bush was quite clearly an evil man to , maybe even more so , because of the lies and deception that he constantly used to justify invading this oil rich country.
Fair Game is a really good thriller that exposes the Bullsh1t that came from Washington ( and London) that destroyed so many innocent people.
Naomi Watts plays Valerie Plame , an undercover CIA agent who's cover is deliberately exposed in the press because she found that there were no WMD's in Iraq and she has to fight ,along with her husband Joe Wilson , to clear her name and expose the frauds that walk the halls of the Oval office.
Although this is not an action packed movie it makes up for it in the tension the builds as we see the injustice unfold before our eyes.
I really liked this film and i applaud the director , Doug Liman ,
for the bravery of telling the real story of why Iraq was invaded.
The really disgusting thing is the same is happening again now in Libya and there is nothing we can do about it.
Different year , different leaders , same deception.
Well worth watching.- Was this review helpful to you?

(124)A true story,and one worth telling
By CharlieLew (15 reviews) from London , 04 Apr 2013A decent film about a deplorable event, among many others, in the history of the American government's secret service department. Decent, but not actually exciting and a far cry from the tense quick editing of the trailer, which made it seem like an adrenalin-filled thriller. Not so, I am afraid, but, again, decent nevertheless, and a story well worth telling.- Was this review helpful to you?

A good account of a small couple taking on the giants
By Ricia (153 reviews) , 18 Mar 2013A very good insight into how easy it is for officials to abuse the system and how very very hard it is for individuals to fight back. It was a very good film but it didn't really show how very difficult it would have been for the Wilsons to take on their former colleagues, it just seemed to gloss over that towards the end. But still a very good film and definately worth a watch.- Was this review helpful to you?

Recommended highly
By a customer , 06 Mar 2013Great film - makes you wonder how more didn't come out of the Hutton inquiry and why this film's profile wasn't so big over here... Sean Penn is brilliant as always (although the last scene I didn't quite believe his emotional meltdown - but hey may be he was having a hugely happy day & just couldn't find it) It's a bit like a true story Homelands - though obviously inception / shot way before. Anyway - it's a great story & full of displays of the usual dodgy behaviours resulting in massive injustices which we are coming to accept our politicians and world 'leaders' rule over us with/by.- Was this review helpful to you?

political conspiracies
By Dragonflyblue (3 reviews) from Worcester , 02 Mar 2013Good acting, well paced. The tension and narrative was allowed to unravel at a natural pace and though this is not an action movie this still gave the plot enough momentum to sail happily to a satisfying conclusion.- Was this review helpful to you?
