Fair Game (2010)




















Director : Doug Liman (Bourne Identity, Mrs. And Mr. Smith)
Cast : Naomi Watts, Sean Penn

Based on the memoirs published by ex CIA agent, Valerie Plame, this keeps you on the edge. Intricate, detailed, thought provoking it will leave with little time to fall complacent. There are so many different thoughts, opinions, insights, and subtle under currents that following the linear storyline, is just one of the options you have while watching the movie.

Apart from what the powerful people could do, it was for me a also how the couple survived the ordeal. In spite of being exactly opposite to each other in their approaches, opinions, beliefs, they gel well so well to survive the ordeal. Their lives allow, very little time for each other, still the ability to think beyond, and the love, sees them through. It’s is easiest to give up on your loved when things go wrong, that’s the easiest thing to do, But then your partner needs your support the most during such troubled times. Sean understood that.

Age is catching up on Naomi Watts, like any of us. It shows too.
