![]() She kicks William Baldwin’s ass for the most part during their climactic fight and she never fails to convince with her badassery. Salma Hayek even gets a brief role as the crazy and annoying ex-girlfriend of Max who only shows up for a couple of scenes.įair Game also has the great Jenette Goldstein who plays one of the bad guys and she can be such a chameleon disappearing into her roles where you sometimes don’t even recognise it’s her. ![]() There is an impressive supporting cast that includes Christopher McDonald, Miguel Sandoval and Hank Stone. Ilya Pavel Kazak (Steven Berkoff) and his goons who always seem to be one step ahead.īy the time the end credits roll there is no scenery left as Berkoff has chewed it all he hams it up hilariously but always makes for a fun villain. Max Kirkpatrick even if he could never be a patch on Marion Cobretti… after all who could? Max can’t seem to find anyone he can trust so the two end up being chased around the country by Col. William Baldwin does the best he can as her protector Det. Mind you, she didn’t have much to work with as the script isn’t the greatest and it’s the kind of movie you’ll forget about 10 minutes after viewing. She never convinces as (“harmless?”) lawyer Kate McQuean and she probably could have had a few more acting classes before taking on this role. She’s basically there just to look pretty and you could have a drinking game every time there is a gratuitous shower scene.

Plot: When Kate McQuean, a family lawyer, finds herself as the target of ex-KGB agents, it is up to Max Kirkpatrik, a Miami detective, to keep them both alive. Fair Game isn’t a patch on Cobra but it has some enjoyable action beats and Cindy Crawford isn’t hard to look at Mark Mancina’s score is the highlight and you can never go wrong with Steven Berkoff as a villain. ![]()
