Fair Game

Fair Game is a movie about a major event in recent history that reminds us how easy it is to forget what happened just a few years ago. When the Valerie Plame scandal was in the news I didn't pay much attention because it was poorly presented and the full impact of what had happened wasn't apparent for some time. Fair Game on the other hand does a fantastic job of laying out the order of events in a compelling way.

Director Doug Liman is no stranger to cloak and dagger stories and Fair Game, much like his Bourne Identity, keeps a good pace while presenting this complicated mix of spies, intelligence and family concerns. Naomi Watts is great in the lead and Sean Penn is perfectly cast as her husband. Not only is this role right up his alley, but he looks exactly like Joe Wilson. 4/5
