Based on the autobiography of the same name by ex-CIA operative Valerie Plame and \u201cThe Politics of Truth\u201d by her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, FAIR GAME is the story of Plame, whose career was destroyed and marriage strained almost to the breaking point when her covert status was intentionally exposed by a White House leak.\u00a0 Set post 9\/11 through 2003, while the investigation of the leak eventually led to the conviction of Scooter Libby as well as other legal ramifications and political fall-outs, it is the facts obtained by Plame\u2019s operations (i.e., there were no weapons of mass destruction) that were ignored by the White House, plunging the United States unnecessarily into war with Iraq, that are some of the most impactful.\u00a0 This is one the \u201cMust See Films\u201d of the century for anyone who calls themselves an American.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6018\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame1-202x300.jpg\" alt=\"fairgame1\" width=\"202\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame1-202x300.jpg 202w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame1.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Valerie Plame is the consummate woman.\u00a0A dedicated, loving wife and mother with a high profile job as a venture capitalist, she is the woman her friends admire most and the woman her husband\u2019s friends most desire.\u00a0 She has it all and balances it all with nary a hair out of place.\u00a0 Joe Wilson, a former U.S. Ambassador to Niger, supports his wife in her work and is the shining example of what a true marital partnership is.\u00a0\u00a0 But appearances can be deceiving.\u00a0 For as Valerie and Joe seem like the epitome of success and marital bliss to their friends, what goes on behind closed doors is anything but.<\/p>\n<p>Valerie is a covert operative in the CIA\u2019s counter-proliferation department; leader of the CIA\u2019s Joint Task Forces on Iraq.\u00a0 And she is the best in the business.\u00a0 An NOC, non-official covert operative, she has little or no protection if caught spying.\u00a0 The US government will deny her existence. Spending months planning and executing intricate operations infiltrating Saddam Hussein\u2019s alleged weapons program, Plame discovers that Iraq doesn\u2019t have any nuclear weapons program, no weapons of mass destruction &#8211; a fact on which she stands even when grilled by the highest levels of the White House.\u00a0 But rumors abound concerning a possible sale of enriched uranium to Iraq, a sale which allegedly occurred in Africa.\u00a0 Looking for someone with expertise in African relations, the CIA turns no further than Joe Wilson, Plame\u2019s husband, for help.\u00a0 What better person to send to Africa to either verify or negate the rumors.<\/p>\n<p>After his own extensive investigation, Wilson\u2019s findings confirm those of Plame.\u00a0 No deal took place.\u00a0 Two other independent reports also verify those of Plame and Wilson.\u00a0 (Of note is that Wilson was the last American diplomat to meet with Hussein after Iraq\u2019s 1990 invasion of Kuwait.\u00a0 It was Wilson who personally went head-to-head with Hussein and rescued thousands of Americans \u201ctrapped\u201d under Hussein\u2019s rule.)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6019\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame2.jpg\" alt=\"fairgame2\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame2-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ignoring all the evidence, the White House nevertheless declares war on Iraq, claiming evidence of\u00a0 \u201cweapons of mass destruction\u201d and \u201cactive nuclear weapons program\u201d as the basis for the attack.\u00a0\u00a0 Outraged by this lie being perpetrated no the American people, Wilson pens a now famous article in \u201cThe New York Times\u201d setting forth the truth, an article which starts a seemingly endless domino effect of disaster for all.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after Wilson\u2019s article appears, in a vindictive move by the White House, Plame\u2019s true identity is leaked, endangering not only herself, but her family, her friends, her marriage, her career, her informants, and the American people.\u00a0 And that\u2019s only the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6023\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame7.jpg\" alt=\"fairgame7\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame7.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame7-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Naomi Watts is spellbinding as Valerie Plame.\u00a0 Bearing more than a striking resemblance to Plame (so much so that Plame\u2019s own son commented on her finding a twin at age 45), Watts\u2019s performance is strong and compelling.\u00a0 Determined to portray Plame with all the truth and authenticity possible, beyond spending time with Plame and Wilson, she went through the same CIA training for covert operators as Plame had in her days with the Agency.\u00a0 Beyond the truth in the performance, Watts also captures the emotional fortitude of a woman living a duality, pushed to the emotional brink, but never breaking.\u00a0 The dance that Watts does with her co-workers\/with the characters of Valerie and Joe\/ Valerie and her ops, is meticulous and mesmerizing.\u00a0\u00a0 There is this tower of strength, confidence and certainty with the deliberateness of every movement, every syllable. It&#8217;s fascinating to watch. Watts is inscrutable as Plame.

His monologues and diatribes are mesmerizing and mind-blowing.\u00a0\u00a0 His passion is infectious.\u00a0 You feel the frustration in Wilson.\u00a0 You feel the pain of his wife being lambasted in the press and by her \u201cemployer.\u201d\u00a0 You feel the anger of governmental lies.\u00a0 Penn is pure Oscar gold.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t remember when I&#8217;ve enjoyed David Andrews more in a role. As Scooter Libby, he is such a nebbish; a delicious derelict. Nice touch with Polly Holliday as Plame\u2019s\u00a0 mother. Anyone who knows their tv sitcoms will immediately find a touchstone with this casting given her appearances on &#8220;Home Improvement&#8221; playing Jill Taylor&#8217;s mother married to a life-long military man called &#8220;The Colonel.&#8221; On hearing Holliday&#8217;s voice, needing no backstory at all, your mind immediately clicks into the image and persona of a strong military wife &#8211; and that&#8217;s exactly what you learn in a very touching sequence between Watts and Sam Shephard, who plays Plame\u2019s father, a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6024\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame8.jpg\" alt=\"fairgame8\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame8.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame8-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Written by Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth and directed by Doug Liman, FAIR GAME is riveting, dynamic, fast-paced, high energy, electrifying intrigue.\u00a0 Filled with suspense, the truth of the subject matter is both provocative and evocative.\u00a0 The dialogue crackles with razor-edged precision. The concise presentation of facts and so many intricate details of every aspect of this phenomenal story and the events that led to the war and thereafter, provides a crystalline look at truth; that the truth really is out there if you just open your eyes and look for it.\u00a0 The research and meticulousness of the script and detailed minutia that went into the making of this film to insure authenticity and accuracy is beyond impressive, especially the implementation of the actual method used by the CIA of two-source confirmation, as to every technical detail of the film.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6025\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame9.jpg\" alt=\"fairgame9\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame9.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame9-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was one thing to follow the events of Plame\u2019s story when it was actually happening.\u00a0 We saw it unfold through the eyes of the media, but through Doug Liman\u2019s lens and the actual underlying story of Plame and Wilson, to see the events put together in one cohesive concentrated chronological form with the complete underlying facts (as much as can be told given the confidentiality agreement Plame had to sign on leaving the CIA), puts the political machine and certain politicians in perspective.<\/p>\n<p>As far as I&#8217;m concerned, as a director, Doug Liman is pure genius.\u00a0 His voice is original, loud, clear and decisive. He breathes life into every project, escalating it to unseen levels of excitement and suspense.\u00a0 His films &#8211; and particularly, FAIR GAME &#8211; are like rapid eye movement brought to life; instead of eyelids fluttering, we have visual images rapidly moving on screen, pulsating score and crisp, razor-honed dialogue, engaging all of our senses simultaneously for a truly immersive film experience. With the opening frame, Liman engages every synapse, even turning on those that have long been dormant thanks to the mindless drivel that regularly assails our brains.\u00a0\u00a0 His lensing is extraordinary. Clearly shooting hand held, rapid pan and scan close-ups propel the intrigue and tension while simultaneously creating a feeling of solitude and isolation within each character.\u00a0 Exchanges and human interactions are often fleeting and quick, adding to the meaning of covert ops; Did I see that? Do I know him\/her? Ingenious. And the contrast between the grit and grime of Iraq and the sharp, crisp, polished look of the US and the CIA, just fuels the film. But then he tosses in actual news footage which\u00a0 seals the deal.\u00a0\u00a0 Shooting in five countries, FAIR GAME has the distinction of being the first non-documentary American film to ever shoot in Baghdad.\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6022\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame6-198x300.jpg\" alt=\"fairgame6\" width=\"198\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame6-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/fairgame6.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Valerie Plame was given a Congressional Medal of Honor for her service to this country, and then thrown to the wolves.\u00a0 But not only did she and her husband survive, they thrived.
