FlashCallahan Kate McQuean suddenly finds herself targeted for death by a crack team of KGB assassins, because she had something to do with Dan Hedaya and his boat, and they have the technology to access every aspect of her life.Fortunately, maverick cop Max Kirkpatrick is there to protect her, because he's just broken up with Salma Hayek who looks good, but sheesh, she puts in an awful performance.Together, amidst violence, death, and destruction, they must stay alive and stop them. In the meantime, Max and Kate find themselves falling for each other, because we all know that most of us saw this to see Crawford's talents.....And if you say 'no' to the last line of that paragraph, and you are a male around the ages of 35-42, you my friend are a blatant liar.I went to see it because of this, i'm not going to lie, but the fact that it's produced by the king of the eighties action movie, and has it's roots buried deep in the eighties, it doesn't really let you down in the action scenes either.It's based on the same source material that was used for the Stallone movie Cobra, but the two films couldn't be further apart. Watching Cobra now, it comes of as more of a horror movie than your atypical Stallone vehicle, while this is your more generic action film, and there is one scene where Baldwiin literally jumps in the air and fires his gun while landing in the water.It looks so stupid, but it fits so well in this movie.It's also the kind of film where characters only need to look at something and it will explode. For example, there is a scene in a car park where our two heroes are duped by the KGB, where a car just literally blows up for no reason at all, and this is the same scene where his partner is killed, but it's played for laughs because his wig falls off, and it's not even supposed to be intentionally funny.Baldwin is okay, his agent obviously thought that this would make his star shine, but when watching the film, during key action sequences, Baldwin has a look on his face like he has just sat on a chair with a drawing pin in it.There's not much to say about Crawford, she looks really good, but there is a reason why she hasn't been in a leading role since.Berkoff is good but he does this stuff in his sleep, and he looks all the more fed up for it.If you are a fan of eighties action, where all you need is big explosions and silly one liners, then this is for you.It's the nineties Action Jackson.

ccollins1982 lol i saw a review for this film the other day and was told it was terrible which i disagreed with i rememberer watching this 12 years ago when i was 14 and thought it was amazing but when watched it last night i thought it was absolutely terrible maybe watching it as a hormone obsessed teenager seeing cindy crawford probably made me have favourable memories of the films but its not so good watching it as a adult some silly moments and remarkable that with everyone trying to kill her in the film she doesn't seem to show any emotion to it whatsoever also heard the old stallone film cobra is based on this think ill give that a try instead its good to watch once but don't buy it on DVD you will feel like getting a refund if you do

disdressed12 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

Leigh Fair Game is one of those films that teaches you things you never realised were true until it happened on screen. Things like this:Explosions that blow up a mansion, and send someone flying into the water never leave a mark on that person. But they will have blood on their clothes, irregardless.Teams of expert assassins can be beaten by one cop.It's not humanly possible for a bad guy to kill someone without using a one-liner first. This may explain why they don't feel any remorse.Cars blow up on impact, regardless of where the impact is and what the impact is with. Unless of course our hero is in the car, in which case, it just catches fire.Perfect looking fake IDs aren't necessarily done with the use of any computers.Letters that look like 3s, but aren't, are found by typing in '3' into the computer.Employees of small stores swear freely and loudly while on the phone in the store.Continuity is not important. It can easily flow from late afternoon, before the sun starts to set at all, to well after the sun has set, in a matter of seconds.Choppers can't be heard over bad sex scene music and Cindy Crawford's disinterested moaning.Cops leave the safety off when they put their gun away.Trained assassins watch their target do a random Baldwin brother instead of actually doing their job.A bomb counts down from 2 minutes 57 seconds to 1 minute 47 seconds in just under 15 seconds. That bomb then proceeds to blow up everything except the room the bomb is located in.
