Trailer: Naomi Watts in 'Fair Game'
Published Thursday, Aug 19 2010, 16:28 BST | By Simon Reynolds | Add comment
When we caught Fair Game at Cannes back in May the verdict was generally a positive one. It's a sharp and engrossing political thriller from Doug 'Bourne Identity' Liman housing a performance from Naomi Watts that's easily her best since Mulholland Drive.
Sean Penn is pretty good, too, except for a moment at the end when he seemingly forgets he's acting and turns into Sean Penn lecturing college kids about democracy. Anyway, our Penn quibbles aside, it's a cut above many contemporary thrillers and - since it's based on the Valerie Plame CIA scandal - one largely rooted in fact.
