  Fair Game

  by crs516872

  Everyone in America with a brain, heart, or both should see "Fair Game." All three members of my family (wife, adult son, 23) walked out with a feeling of total disgust and outrage at how key figures in the GW Bush White House - Cheney, Rove, Libby -intentionally manipulated and contorted the truth and public understanding of the reasons for the US invasion of Iraq. I am a career attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice who worked for every U.S. President from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama. I cannot understand why all White House individuals involved, not just Libby, were not charged with serious violations of federal criminal law for deliberately, unconscionably exposing Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA operative. Regardless of whether or not one shares my view of the incident, the movie was completely captivating. The story unfolded as a fascinating parallel tale of Plame's and Wilson's work for the US Government and the tension/pressure of a modern marriage. Please see it!

  Great Movie

  by ponyexpress

  I happened to stumble on this movie and decided to see it. It's a great movie and I would say very interesting since it's based on a true story. Go see it.

  Penn is Awesome!

  by ocodan

  Great movie... and best of all it is based on a true story! The Bush Administration had so much deceitfulness, intrigue and corruption you could probably make several of these types of movies as successful and suspenseful thrillers.

  Fair Game

  by dvclifford

  Terrific performances, but too liberally slanted for a conservative republican like me. No explanation as to why a dove like Novak would put Wilson on the spot like he did. Sean Penn could play any non-Disney role with perfection.

  Only for those who followed, at least casually, the Joe wilson/Valerie Plame issue involving Rove and Libby. Very well acted and exciting.

  Fair Game is a must for anyone living in America

  by MADJakk

  The movie itself isn't flashy and kinda dry overall, but it's substance is very interesting and informative. It made me even more disgusted with our former president and his admin. America should watch this film. Powerful.

  Impressive "Fair Game"

  by cranmb

  Great acting and historical potrayal of what happened with this brave family
  against the power of the Bush/Cheney White House. Everyone should know facts
  about our country's history and this movie does an excellent job of exposing
  what we Knew. I wish to have known more at the time.

  Fair Game

  by jjhspark3

  This film should be required viewing by every American. It clearly shows how the Bush Administration ruined peoples' lives without any truth to what was said. Americans should understand better what our government can do to citizens who are doing the best they can to help and protect this country.
  
  It shows, I believe, an honest and dramatic example of what some people in government do to others simply to show their power and get their way. Americans need to know that this is happening in our government and that it is done without any fear from those with the power and the lack of conscious in ruining other peoples' lives.
  
  I thought the film was excellent and the script, almost documentary, was well written and developed, the direction superb and the acting worth every award possible.

  Fair game

  by verybadmovies

  Very well acted. The story is as revealed in newspapers a number of years ago, when Valerie was revealed as bein an undeciover CIA operative.
  
  It seems that often, when some people get to work in the Wjite house, they get too much power in the heads, and forget about treating everyone as a human being.

  Fair Game Educates the public

  by dfoleymovie

  If you followed all the details of how the Bush White House lied about having evidence that Irag was buying yellow cake from Nigeria, then you may not learn anything new. But for those who do not know the details of how they lied and how they outed the CIA Agent, Valerie Plame Wilson, was outed by the White House, then this movie is a must see.
  
  Sean Penn is a great actor. Naomi Watts is also good.
  
  Even if you know the story, the movie is worth seeing. The audience was engaged throughout the entire film.
