FAIR GAME

“If you like outrageous cinema, you live and breath to wait for those weird moments that happen every once and a while in genre cinema, where you can’t believe what you are seeing, well Fair Game has one of those moments.” -- Quentin Tarantino

Fair Game stars Cassandra Delaney as Jessica, a wildlife sanctuary owner who lives in the outback with her loyal sheepdog Kyra. When a trio of renegade Kangaroo poachers break onto her property in "Beast" (their Pimp-My-Ride style hunting truck) animal lover Jessica, doesn’t take it too lightly. Eventually she draws the wrath of the hunters starting a violent game of cat and mouse in a series of escalating events, pitting woman vs man, hunting vs conservation and horse vs motorcycle.

Shot by future Lord of the Rings cinematographer Andrew Lesnie - Fair Game is a non-stop action thriller which never lets us take a breath - playing on the female revenge genre but staying firmly in the realms of comic book style action. With an extremley over the top synth soundtrack, lots of crazy car stuns and an particulary infamous scene which was paid tribute in Quentin Tarinton's Death Proof, Fair Game is an unfairly forgotten Aussie classic that deserves to be rediscovered.

Content Warnings: Films contain scenes of stalking, violence against people and animals, sexual harassment and scenes of sexual humiliation.
