Joe Williams Love Translates To Box Office Gold

Wherein “gold” in this case might mean “$12”:

For a nation at war with its own values, “Fair Game” is a compelling, pertinent and scrupulously true political thriller in the honorable tradition of “All the President’s Men.”

Valerie Plame, smartly portrayed by Naomi Watts, was a CIA operative who specialized in defusing the nuclear ambitions of terrorists and rogue regimes. When President George W. Bush’s administration said Iraq was stockpiling uranium from Africa, it didn’t square with Plame’s information. She suggested to her bosses that her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson (Sean Penn), was qualified to investigate.

When the American public goes to films, it doesn’t go to see artists twisting facts to make a compelling narrative designed to hector America and Americans; that’s why a couple of them still take their daily papers.

I predict Fair Game comes in 9th this week if not lower.
