Fair Game (2010)


             Fair Game is a 2010 film starring Naomi Watts, and Sean Penn and is directed by veteran director Doug Liman.  This film is based on a true story of CIA operative Valerie Plame (Watts) and her husband Joe Wilson (Penn).  As a CIA operative Valerie Plame discovered documents that proved that there were no weapons of mass destruction being made in Iraq.  Her husband and ex-diplomat Joe wrote an article about this to get the truth out so the Bush administration did everything they could to ruin the couple's life.  This put a lot of strain on their marriage and hurt their relationship.  This movie has very strong performances from Penn and Watts, but this movie dragged a little bit.  I do not usually think that of any movie so you better watch out. For those who have not heard the story, it is a must see, but for anyone else, skip it.
