Movie Review: In 'Fair Play,' a battle of the sexes on Wall Street

Since its hit arrival at the Sundance Film Festival, “Fair Play” has been hailed for reviving the long-dormant-but-often-missed erotic thriller. While there are bits of that in Chloe Domont’s film, “Fair Play” is neither especially erotic nor much of a thriller. What it is, though, is often gripping battle of the sexes set in a toxic, misogynist corporate world where power and sex are inextricably linked currencies, writes Associated Press Film Writer Jake Coyle in his review. The movie is brilliant and breezy at first but sputters just as its catching fire. But for a while, Domont’s film is electric thanks to its lead actors and Domont's playful script.
