What happens

Fair Game is a 1995 American action thriller film directed by Andrew Sipes from the screenplay by Charlie Fletcher. It stars William Baldwin, Cindy Crawford, Steven Berkoff and Christopher McDonald and follows the police detective Kirkpatrick who must protect lawyer Kate McQuean when she is targeted for murder by ex-members of the KGB with interests in a ship owned by a Cuban man who may lose it in a divorce case being pursued by McQuean. Fair Game is based on Paula Gosling's 1974 novel A Running Duck, which was previously adapted into the 1986 film Cobra. Locations used for the film included Coral Gables, Florida, Miami Beach, and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Fair Game was panned by critics and was a box office bomb, recouping only $11 million of its $50 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
