10 Action Movies That Prove Hollywood Hates You

10. Fair Game

Producer Joel Silver must’ve hit a rough patch between Die Hard and The Matrix because here he is attempting to make an action hero out of the person least qualified to play one – Cindy Crawford, who plays a lawyer that goes to work wearing a mini-dress.

You’d never guess that the movie was based on the same book that inspired Cobra, because apart from the plot device of a cop (William Baldwin) protecting an innocent woman, it’s a totally different film. Not a better film, necessarily, just different.

Instead of a villain called The Night Slasher we get bug-eyed Steven Berkoff, who’s trying to pull off one of those high-tech robberies that requires lots of hardware and an account in the Cayman Islands. After spending the entire film trying to kill Crawford, he eventually whisks her off to his secret hideout and explains his diabolical masterplan, then seems surprised when she turns the tables and leaves him to his doom.
