Okay, so it's got hardly any plot and what there is doesn't make much sense. So it was doomed to be slated by critics the second Cindy Crawford said yes. So the film may have the world record for the number of scenes in the trailer that aren't in the finished film. It's still far from the worst film ever made, and certainly far from the worst in the year it came out (1995 was the year of "Showgirls," "Waterworld," "Species," and "Congo" for openers).

Way too much senseless violence, confusing scripting (from Charlie Fletcher and an uncredited Steven E. deSouza),and frenzied editing for sure, and Cindy's Oscar is unlikely to be coming any time soon - but she's no worse than the rest of the cast (and unlike Steven Berkoff, at least SHE hasn't sunk to doing a Jean Claude Van Damme film since). She's actually pretty good more often than not, and her punches are more convincing than some male actors (though hitting the smuggest of the smug Baldwin brothers provides motivation). Let's just say that the man credited as her acting coach clearly didn't see all his efforts go unrewarded.

And you have to give her and the rest of the cast and crew credit; no one ever pretends that "Fair Game" is anything other than an unpretentious action film, which can't be a bad thing. (But then even Cindy's biggest detractors have never claimed she was pretentious.) While it is mainly for fans of the moled one, it's still short enough not to hurt, and it certainly improves on the last time the Paula Gosling novel it's based on was turned into a film (the truly awful "Cobra" with Sylvester Stallone),and you don't often see films starring lawyer characters doing something other than criminal law. And before you point out that no lawyer ever looked as good as Cindy Crawford, remember that that never stopped Steven Bochco - or David E. Kelley with "Ally McBeal." Now who would you rather be represented in court by, Cindy or Ally?

Miami police detective Max Kirkpatrick (William Baldwin) is dumped by his angry ex Rita (Salma Hayek). Civil lawyer Kate McQuean (Cindy Crawford) gets nicked by a stray bullet and gets interviewed by Max. Kate uses a maritime law loophole to seize a freighter in a divorce case. The problem is that it's owned by criminal Emilio Juantorena where ex-KGB Colonel Ilya Pavel Kazak and his Russian team operate their high-tech criminal enterprises. They blow up Kate's home. She survives and given police protection. When they attack again, Max escapes with Kate.

The plot is really basic and is only an excuse for most of the movie to be a chase. Everybody is piling on to make fun of Cindy Crawford's acting. I've seen worst. For a model, her acting is passable. The movie is simply asking too much from her to be the lead actress. She doesn't really act as much as she can walk and talk. I actually like her when she's punching Max in the face but then the movie forces them to make out in the next moment. There are major problems but most of it is in the script. There is lots of action and explosions to cover up any actual acting in the movie. If anything, it's too overloaded with action and makes this a laughable mess.

Garbage thriller notable only for the brief nudity of star Cindy Crawford. You kids today won't remember but this was a pretty big deal at the time among teenage boys. It's pretty tame by today's standards I guess. The movie itself is some thrown together by-the-numbers story about a cop (the always slimy William Baldwin) protecting a lawyer (Crawford) from a Russian out to kill her for a pretty stupid reason. If you're not interested in Crawford's looks there really is nothing to recommend about this. If you are interested, Cindy is certainly gorgeous throughout the picture, despite her limited acting ability. If you insist upon watching this I suggest muting it and keeping your free hand on the fast-forward button.
