Blu-ray Review – Fair Game

"Fair Game" is a 1986 Australian production that seeks to provide big thrills without the burden of nuanced dramatic engagement. It's an exploitation film, and simplicity isn't such a bad idea when it comes to action and suspense, but director Mario Andreacchio and writer Rob George don't have a lot of story to share with this visual exercise, and the characters they do have are often portrayed cartoonishly, confusing the tone of this endeavor, especially once it starts to reach some dark areas of revenge. "Fair Game" is effective as a cinematic offering of suspense, and the production works hard to deliver a strong sense of style and violent engagement. It isn't a consistently riveting presentation of rage, but the stretches that do work provide a nice B-movie charge of screen activity. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
