Entertainment Reviews:
3 stars out of 5 -- Intense performances keep this very watchable...
Uncut
As Plame and Joe Wilson, Watts and Penn get to sink their chops into one of the most cinema-friendly true stories in recent history...
Movieline
Watts and Penn bring ferocity and feeling to their roles, turning a potent political thriller into a stirring, relatable human drama.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 4/5 --
It's a thriller that shows the twists and turns of fate with some skill but also rages effectively against the way the most powerful usually win.
London Evening Standard
FAIR GAME gets you riled up all over again at a deeply unpatriotic abuse of power. -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
Doug Liman's direction is astute, the acting is first-rate, the script -- by Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth -- is smart and the story is an important one...
Wall Street Journal
Rating: 4/5 --
Watts and Penn are first rate as a married couple divided by their desperation to do right, while stylistically it's top notch.

Product Description:
THE BOURNE IDENTITY director Doug Liman teams with screenwriters Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth to streamline Joseph Wilson's and Valerie Plame's books detailing the explosive outing of undercover CIA agent Plame into a tense docudrama thriller starring Naomi Watts and Sean Penn. At the time her cover was blown by the George W. Bush administration, Plame (Watts) was combing Iraq for evidence of weapons of mass destruction as part of the CIA's Counter-Proliferation Division. Her husband, American diplomat Joe Wilson was attempting to verify a claim that the Iraqis had recently purchased enriched uranium from Niger when the White House began beating the war drums before any solid evidence had been gathered. When Joe penned an editorial in The New York Times decrying the hasty call to war, a prolific Washington, D.C. journalist took the opportunity to reveal Plame's identity as a CIA operative, an act that not only put her career in jeopardy, but also left her various contacts overseas in a precarious position. Years later, a jobless and publicly disgraced Plame wages a vicious fight to clear her name, set the record straight, and keep her family from falling apart.
