Other popular and/or decent films he was involved with include The Warriors, 48 Hours, Commando, Predator, Demon Knight, Executive Decision (featuring that which Jabootu fans have long fantasized about, a grisly death scene featuring Steven Seagal that ‘ironically’ involved sucking) and the recent The Matrix. Personally, I never found them to be that hot, but you can’t argue with success. He also produced the Lethal Weapon films. In the process, he managed to produce one genuine classic, Die Hard. Known primarily for inane, bombastically kinetic action flicks, Silver made a fortune and defined the ‘event’ film for that decade. Much as Dino De Laurentiis stands as a symbol of Bad Movies ’70s style, Silver can be said to represent everything wrong with films in the ’80s. The film ended up being a groan inducing 'knock off' of the action thrillers of the 90s.Ah, finally film producer Joel Silver graces us with his long overdue presence.
But great elements cannot fix a fundamentally flawed project. The film even enlisted the Bad Boys composer Mark Mancina, who contributed a top notch score. Fair Game was the second feature film adaptation of the Paula Gosling novel (the first being 1986's Cobra) and was produced by veteran action producer Joel Silver ( Lethal Weapon) with lots of chases and gunfights and many nods to directors James Cameron and Michael Bay in the cinematography and editing. Despite this, the film had many good elements. Many have suggested that a better script that was not heavy with bad dialogue and direction designed to take the pressure off her and lean more on her experienced supporting actors, would have been a much better product. She had little formal training and was a beginner actor but she was an experienced television personality and spokesperson and with training and experience she may have eventually excelled at acting, but the poor dialogue and bad script, especially for a novice actress, really presented her in a poor light and Andrew Sipes was not a veteran action film director. It was not entirely fair to direct all of the critical wrath at Ms. Unfortunately, a very weak script and lackluster direction resulted in a critically lambasted film and poor box office, with most of the criticism aimed at the lead actress and made Fair Game her first and only foray into film as the star. William Baldwin co-starred as the Miami detective assigned to protect her.
Fair Game is a 1995 action thriller originally intended as a star vehicle for supermodel Cindy Crawford, who starred in the film as Kate McQuean, a Miami lawyer who is targeted by Russian mobsters for assassination.
