    Very slick and extremely silly, not to mention aptly titled, Fair Game is just that - a noisy actioner so inanely scripted, acted, and directed that it practically begs you to make fun of it.

    The buzz was that Fair Game reshot its ending. They should have reshot its painfully fabricated beginning and middle, too. [03 Nov 1995]

    Fair Game works as a thriller for anyone who lives entirely in the present.

    The direction is on auto-drive, the dialogue lacks wit and the story logic is non-existent. [03 Nov 1995]

    A thriller primarily about the movement of Cindy Crawford's breasts beneath a succession of ever-smaller T-shirts.

    Don't imagine there is any reason to see Fair Game.

    Some clumsy nips and tucks later, Fair Game still doesn't make sense, and Crawford's performance still cracks you up. [03 Nov 1995]

    Fair Game is howlingly bad - so awful, in fact, that it can actually be enjoyed on a certain level.

    Fair Game, written and directed by men, allows model Cindy Crawford to make her screen debut as Miami lawyer Kate McQueen.

    Surely, they couldn't be true. Surely, supermodel Cindy Crawford's Fair Game - her debut as a feature film star - couldn't be as bad as the gossip suggested. [03 Nov 1995]

    Not bad enough to be good.... This vigorous, pinheaded action flick asks us to accept Cindy as a lawyer.

    Fair Game is otherwise notable only for its jaw-dropping stupidity, the sort of action yarn that hopes nonstop mayhem will help cloud just how nonsensical it is.

    Cindy Crawford is not the worst thing about Fair Game. Her fully poseable action-figure performance is about what you'd expect: studied and empty at the same time. Far worse is Fair Game's script. [14 Nov 1995]
