Jogo Brutal

A woman in charge of a wildlife sanctuary in Australia is terrorized on the road by two men in a beastly pickup truck and another man in a truck with a shark painted on the back doors. They continue to harass her, and she keeps asserting herself against them, even fighting back. They're intent on killing animals and having cruel fun.

Some who've watched the movie think that if she left them alone, they would have left her alone. I doubt it. At a minimum they would have gone on killing more animals, which she would have found intolerable. But I think they were as intent on tormenting her as killing kangaroos.

The woman is played by the beautiful Cassandra Delaney (the future Mrs. John Denver!), who sadly has not done many other movies. She spends the first part of the movie barely dressed in a long shirt and belt and nothing else, or a wrap and belt. Hot outfit for a hot environment.

Essentially follows a rape-revenge sort of plot, although it isn't clear if they rape her. As the video box indicates, they strap her to the hood of their pickup and drive her around. She's later dumped and she takes a shower, so a rape could be inferred, but it isn't integral.

A well-made film, well acted, though not especially deep.

Australia's answer to "I Spit on Your Grave"? Maybe, except this is actually a much better (and more watchable) film. A woman who owns an isolated vast wildlife reservation realizes that her Roos and other animals are being illegally hunted by some local hooligans. When she tries to set the perps (one of whom thinks he's Crocodile Dundee) straight, they start messing around with her. After a few days, things get out of hand and she finds herself their new prey on her own property. Dubbed an action/thriller by most, I was expecting this to be a cheesy laugh-fest. The only thing about it that resembles an 80s action/thriller is the often light-hearted score (which morphs into more appropriate horror music at times.) Otherwise, this is filled with tension and a humane heroine that you want to root for. This follows the typical rape/revenge formula of the 70s, but it isn't as difficult to watch. A totally fun flick that's one of Australia's better horror offerings.

This better-than-you'd-expect Aussie revenge thriller pits a young female wildlife refuge ranger against a trio of moronic imbeciles who terrorize her in a senseless cat-and-mouse game in the great outback. Some fairly effective scenes play out in this otherwise unexceptional and run-of-the-mill revenge yarn.

Good performances and interesting location filming highlight this, a take-it-or-leave-it indie film which could have benefited from more gratuitous nudity and violence...the final product,while not at all bad, seems rather lacking in the sleaze factors which fans of this type of film are generally looking for.

4.5/10...neither fish nor fowl, but definitely watchable.

Revenge flick beautyfully filmed in the outback, Australia, we got sand, kangaroos, poachers in big trucks, some shooting but mostly the girl and the poachers use the environment to harass each other, setting traps, running after with the truck and so on.

Unlike some movies they don't set out to kill from the start, to me this makes it more believable; but ..oh yeah, soon enough things turn real bad indeed - with many memorable scenes underway.

As others have mentioned, this film is maybe a little one dimensional, the protagonist is fine acting vise, and we have some nice stunt work from some of the others but that's all you get, dont look for a hidden meaning or anything - this is a fight to the death in and around a remote farm in the outback desert!

This Australian "I Spit on Your Grave" clone lacks a lot in the common sense and believability departments. A woman living on a game preserve is tormented by three of the dumbest poachers on earth. Endless car chases eventually lead to a "Mrs. Rambo" type ending that throws believability out the window and over a cliff. Although the human hood ornament scene is something completely different, the other 95% of "Fair Game" is repetitive and downright tedious. In reality, the movie is nothing more than a showcase for Cassandra Delaney and some nice scenery, sacrificing plot, common sense, and character development. What you are left with is a female revenge flick that is totally forgettable except for one scene. - MERK
