* GPSEvidence: Variation -- one of the clues that eventually leads Kirkpatrick to figure out that the bad guys are Russians is the fact that they're still using Russian guns with Russian ammo. After his first encounter with them he picks a spent shotgun shell as evidence and (with some help of a family member in forensics) discovers that the shell's label is written in Cyrillic.

This assassin repeatedly asks, "Where is Target Three?" while holding his earpiece, because this intel is critically needed. The response is "He's right in front of you!" Sure enough, the assassin looks up to see Kirkpatrick firing bullets into him.

Florida police detective Max Kirkpatrick (Baldwin) is assigned to the case, and he ends up on the run to protect [=McQuean=] when it becomes clear that she's targeted for murder.
Hayek has a small role as Kirkpatrick's ex-girlfriend.
Not to the confused with the [[Film/FairGame 1986 Australian film of the same name]].
----
!!The film has examples of:
* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: Kate is shown at one point changing her shirt ([[GoingCommando and she isn't wearing a bra]]) after it has already being established that she's being pursued by former KGB operatives. Granted, at least she changed ''only'' her shirt.
* HelloAttorney: You can't get a more axiomatic example than an attorney played by Cindy Crawford in the '90s. As expected, she's complimented for her looks to hell and back in-universe.
* MsFanservice: Kate [=McQuean=], who seems to have a lax attitude about nudity, and is played by none other than Creator/CindyCrawford.
* NonActorVehicle: The protagonist is played by model Cindy Crawford.
* PiecemealFundsTransfer: Features this, and worse, the transaction was aborted because everything exploded before the ExactProgressBar was finished.
* SpicyLatina: Salma Hayek's character acts completely berserk when breaking up with Kirkpatrick.
