He is a former member of the KGB equivalent of the Navy Seals, if I heard correctly, and has a staff of computer geniuses. Because she's discovered the ship, she's marked for death, because the ship, rusty and neglected on the outside, is equipped with advanced electronic equipment and is being used to tap into undersea telephone lines so that Kasak ( Steven Berkoff), the bad guy, can transfer hundreds of millions of dollars to his account in the Cayman Islands. (Baldwin has an equal-opportunity shower scene for female viewers.) The movie stars Crawford, in her feature film debut, as Kate McQuean, a Miami lawyer who is handling a case in which she uncovers a hidden asset, an ocean freighter named the Tortoga. She races unclothed from the shower but finds time offscreen to slip into a sexy low-cut bustier before Baldwin helps her escape the trap, after which she is shot at some more before he gets her into another hiding place, where, of course, it is time for her to take another shower immediately. Bullets crash through the floor of the shower stall. After one of her close calls, Crawford is taken by a hero policeman ( William Baldwin) to a safe haven, where of course she immediately takes a shower. In it, a criminal mastermind (a) attempts to shoot the Cindy Crawford character on the street in Miami, (b) blows up her house hoping she is inside it, (c) has a henchman who screams into a phone, 'The girl - she is still alive!' (d) sends a hit squad to kill her in her hotel room, (e) has a killer impersonate an FBI man in order to shoot her, (f) has his men chase her down a freeway while firing machineguns at her, (g) drops hit-men by helicopter onto a train so they can shoot her, and then - then, mind you, when she has finally been captured - says, 'Whatever you do, don't harm the woman for now!' (She is needed, of course, to be hung from the ceiling by her arms during the Talking Killer scene.) This is quite a movie. Those with longer memories will find the film grows increasingly funny as it rolls along. The acting is horrendous, but it's got enough one-liners, explosions and action pieces to keep it going, and the directing - especially of the car chase - is good.'Fair Game' works as a thriller for anyone who lives entirely in the present. However, I'm presuming you'll have already done one for Rambo II or Riders/Steal by the time you get to this, Jen.Īnd in case anyone's wondering, this is a brilliant B-flick.

Train: 2 (1 shot, 1 beaten, 1 by Baldwin, 1 by Crawford)īeach: 2 (1 shot, 1 stabbed, 2 by Baldwin)īoat: 5 (3 shot, 2 blown up, 3 by Baldwin)ĭon't bother with a William Baldwin page, he hasn't been in a great deal, but Steven Berkoff will need one.
