Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
jessegehrig IMDb, let's talk about THIS movie, Flair Gain. It's about apes, specifically the talking kind. Those apes, those Goddamn sh*t throwing apes, oh, let me tell you, they get up to some shenanigans, like stealing stuff, shooting stuff with guns also shooting people with guns, it's America it's cool, BLOWING STUFF UP!!! Do you know who Cindy Crawford is? She's a lady, professionally. She's not some kind of part-time lady, y'know, only being a lady on the weekends and holidays, she's a full time lady, whole movie. So the story of the movie is pretty lady gets with hunk, ugly people try to stop them. The good news is the really attractive people kill all the ugly people in the movie, and that's where babies come from.
breakdownthatfilm-blogspot-com Fair Game, a book written by Paula Gosling gets a reboot for the second time but with a different cast. Nine years before this movie, Cobra (1986) which starred Sylvester Stallone in an action packed film that was great to watch. In this film, the story is more or less the same except it has a totally different cast. This is not a horrible film but I feel that it could have used some more work.Starring in this film is William Baldwin, who earned his stardom in Backdraft (1991). Co-Starring with him is Cindy Crawford in her first feature film. Besides these two, I really didn't know any of the actors. However, Salma Hayek does appear in this movie but as a very minor, irrelevant character (unfortunately), she's actually pretty funny for the minutes she shows up. This movie is one whole big chase scene but most of it is entertaining. Sometimes it can get annoying because Baldwin and Crawford's characters are forced to argue with each other due to the screenplay. Then you have the moments where they actually cooperate and that's always a nice relief. There are also some scenes that have some comedy. I liked the part where Baldwin talks to the bad guys through a regular phone but not by directly calling them. When he does this, a store cashier gets involved in the conversation, I couldn't stop laughing.The action is good in this movie. There's plenty of big explosions; cars, houses, boats, you name it. For the musical score, Mark Mancina composed and conducted for the background of this film. It has an interesting beat that keeps the movie on its toes. I guess what sinks this movie is the plot. It just seems so weird how a small group of terrorists can do so much damage and get away with so little. Obviously this is not the greatest movie ever to hit the big screen but it can please action fans to a point because that is the strong element in this film.As the second adaptation to Gosling's book, other than Stallone's Cobra (1986), this film is mostly unrealistic because of how the plot was written up. All in all, it makes a good popcorn flick for when you just want to sit down and watch some random action movie; but that's about it.
Frank Markland William Baldwin stars as a cop who protects a high powered attorney (Cindy Crawford in her career stopping performance!) from a group of terrorists who for some reason are looking to do our bubbleheaded attorney in. Believe it or not, Fair Game is actually an adaptation on a novel that inspired the underrated Cobra that was fascinating in it's right wing tendencies. Cobra had it's detractors and I think it rates at like 4.3 out of 10 so that goes to show you how B.movies tend to do in the IMDb polls. (Yet strangely, newer action movies pull of 5.5 ratings and anyone who thinks today's actioners are better than the 80's ones, are people I have no interest in knowing. This is a different rant for a different time.) Anyway Fair Game is quite possibly the Alone In The Dark of the 1990's. A laughable bomb which has Billy Baldwin (They could have at least given us Daniel!) at one point sighted with a rifle laser beam on his ass crack. Not since the The Punisher have we been treated to such gratuitous hairy man's ass and at least Dolph Lundgren had the decency to never show his ass again in a different movie. Fair Game plays less like an action flick and more like an ego trip for Cindy Crawford and Billy Baldwin. I was afraid that this wouldn't be as ridiculous as Cobra. I also feared that it would be bald on political statements. I was however wrong. Fair Game is equally as ridiculous as Cobra and it also has a political message. One that includes the idea that Crawford could actually make it into law school and second that it is important for sexy attorneys to take showers at regular intervals. Yes indeed. The reason Fair Game is so bad is it because it represents what is wrong with action movies as it comes from the "Bigger is better" school and although the explosions and action stock come from the assembly line, I think it is more important that we acknowledge that at one time there was a movie that said, not only can Cindy Crawford act but she can also play an intellectual who is a damn good lawyer too! I would say that Cindy Crawford is the worst actress to ever come from the modeling field but I can't because she is a notch above Anna Nicole Smith and one below Bo Derek. As for me I was laughing through out. Although I kind of feel sorry for the author, I never read the novel but i'm guessing this abortion of a movie won't be getting people out there to read the book. And they wonder why today's youth doesn't read anymore! 1/2* Out of 4-(Awful)Note:Someone pointed out that indeed it was a woman not a man who wrote the novel.
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.
