Fair Game

Not to be confused with the Billy Baldwin\Cindy Crawford film of the same name, this Fair Game focuses on outed CIA agent Valerie Plame.  Directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne films, Mr. & Mrs. Smith) and starring Naomi Watts and Sean Penn, the film premiered at Cannes this year to mixed reviews, but a few nice ones for Watts.  More over, it's an important story of one of the least flattering portraits of Bush administration and the Iraqi War.  I'm hopefully the film delivers on some level just because the story is definitely cinematic in comparison to most biography movies-- you've got the war, government conspiracy, spy setting to work with.  It could also serve as a reminder of how powerful an actress Watts is capable.
