Fair Game

Suspend your disbelief, get a little intoxicated if you’re of age, if that’s your thing, and you’ll most certainly enjoy this wildly entertaining piece of trash.

Released for the first time in North America, this so-called Ozploitation thriller about a violently assaulted woman exacting revenge on her attackers hasn’t aged well and raises uncomfortable questions about the genre.

I enjoyed a few yoks, but felt kinda soiled nonetheless.

Despite what she endures, our heroine remains defiantly brave throughout, and it would be absurd to deny how satisfying it is when she turns the tables on her tormentors.

Mario Andreacchio’s exploitation effort serves up plenty of sleazy action sequences in an entertaining package.

Action movies have become big and complicated, making it nice to revisit those '80s-style, just-get-it-done thrills.

Great action direction and cinematography elevate the film beyond what most viewers will expect of the exploitation genre.

Fair Game may be a slickly visual piece of work, but the performances are stilted and the content lacks transgressive bite.

What’s maddening about the movie is the way the script has somebody hard enough to live in the Outback respond -- or FAIL to respond -- to a clear and present and REPEATED danger.

Beautifully shot and making the most of the Outback location, had it not had the occasional scene that takes place in the town, it could easily be mistaken for post-apocalyptic in scope.
