Jogo Brutal

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

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.

This mid-eighties thriller is a skimpy, but surely entertaining and crazy Australian b-grade exploitation attempt at the revenge sub-genre. A young woman takes on some restless kangaroo poachers who go onto make her life hell, when she confronts them about killing animals on her wildlife sanctuary. It's a lot better than you're led to believe. A cat (well there's three of them) and mouse game evolves, as they simply go tit for tat (no one is desperate to back down) in humiliating, terrorising and finally gaining sweet vengeance. The savage violence isn't particularly extreme, as it has a comic book tone to it, but it's mean-spirited and gustily dished-up. From the get-go you can tell it's going to be thrilling, exciting and blistering as it gets straight in to it and never adjusts otherwise. The suspense holds up and the adrenaline kick gets the heart-pounding in many knuckle-busting sequences (the memorable trophy truck ride). Andrew Lesnie sharply photographs the colourfully rugged Australian landscape and wildlife, but it's the moody nightlife cinematography that adds the atmospheric dynamics. Cassandra Delaney (who looks lovely and spends the quite bit time in the flesh) brings a genuine grittiness and sympathetic side to a strong, capable character. The boneheaded, cruel poachers are eccentrically portrayed by Peter Ford, David Sandford and Gary Who. From this inclusion, the gigantic killer pig feature 'Razorback (1984)' comes to mind. Dominating a lot the scenes would be that of Ashley Irwin's uncanny live-wire and throbbing music score. Sometimes uncalled for, but always palatable. Director Mario Andreacchio makes good of the psychical set-pieces and locations. While writer Rob George's material is fundamental, he still strikes up a dependable script that never resorts to camping it up. An agreeable revenge item.

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!

A very interesting movie indeed! Cassandra Delaney is beautiful, and I'm surprised she did so few movies. She plays Jessica, a woman in the outback fighting for the rights of animals, especially Kangaroos, but 3 vicious guys decide to show her HOW a wild animal is treated, and have fun with her, and drives her around the dusty trails of the desert-like terrain of her own property like a hunting prize. The scene is explicit and worth an eye full as Jessica tries to escapes being tied to the truck while they strip her down and prepare to have some fun, with no help in sight. Somebody needs to tell Jessica that going 3-on-1 with some crazy guys in the outback isn't going to end well! The plot is lacking but the, "scenery" is worth the price of admission!
