Movie Review: Fair Game

Even though we already know how the Valerie Plame/Joseph Wilson/Scooter Libby story ends, Fair Game is a fascinating account of how events rolled out. The movie includes actual news footage from the time--including video from when Valerie testified before Congress. And it's very interesting to see the Plame/Wilson side of the story then listen to what the news pundits are saying about them (ie, when the news reports that she was just a secretary at the CIA when in fact she was heavily into covert ops).
Naomi Watts is excellent as a woman who sees her career, her marriage, and indeed her whole life falling apart in front of her eyes through absolutely no fault of her own.
