Fair Game

About This Movie

Fair Game (1986) is a gritty piece that dives into the dark side of human nature set against the stark, unforgiving backdrop of the Australian outback. The pacing has a tight, relentless energy that keeps you on edge, as the young sanctuary owner faces off against the nihilistic kangaroo hunters. The performances, especially from the lead, carry a raw intensity, amplifying the film's themes of survival and moral conflict. The practical effects used in the film, particularly the violence, are quite striking and visceral. It doesn’t shy away from the grim realities of nature versus human cruelty, making it a distinctive entry in the action-horror genre. It’s a rough ride, but that’s part of its raw appeal.
