eye Weekly Jason Anderson Admirable rather than exciting, in a Walrus-political-essay kind of way, the movie needed more macro and less micro. | 10 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Watts (quietly seething) and Penn (he makes the bluntly outspoken Wilson hell at the dinner table) bring ferocity and feeling to their roles, turning a potent political thriller into a stirring, relatable human drama. | 13 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs As it stands, it's okay, but I was hoping and expecting for so much more considering the subject matter. Easy enough to watch. | 11 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer It struggles with the balance between fact-based biopic and taut political thriller, but Fair Game brims with righteous anger -- and benefits from superb performances by Naomi Watts and Sean Penn. | 16 | |
