The full trailer for director Doug Liman’s latest, fact-based drama Fair Game, has arrived online. In Law & Order, ripped-from-the-headlines style, the film follows what happened to Valerie Plame (Naomi Watts), a CIA agent who was outed by her own government when her ambassador husband Joe Wilson (Sean Penn) spoke out about the lies being spun around the Iraq War. Plame’s name was leaked to the press and, despite the likes of Karl Rove and his ilk trying to cover their tracks, the truth eventually came out and several hefty White House names landed in trouble for outing a CIA operative. Our Damo and Sam got a look at the movie at Cannes and their responses were mixed. It sounds like Liman was driven to keep everything as close to factual as possible, which means the pace shifts from a Bourne-style thriller to a more relaxed drama. But now it’s your turn to get a look and tell us whether you think it'll make for good cinema. |
