Review of Conspiracy (2000) by Ana B — 10 Oct 2011

Revenge movie starring Val Kilmer as McPherson, an ex-Marine that lost a leg in Iraq, however his life was saved by mexican colleague Miguel. Fast forward 2 years, Miguel invites McPherson to live in the border town of New Lago, with his wife and kids. But when he arrives the place is deserted and nobody seems to remember Miguel's family. When McPherson starts to ask questions the owner of the town corporation and the sheriff get upset. This is a sort of a very childlish thriller, the plot reminds me of some episodes of the A Team, the characters are divided between extremely good guys and extremely bad blokes. It is also the archetypical story of a fair man against a corrupted town that wins with the help of the vulnerable but strong female and some villagers that still have some sense of justice.

It is indeed very predictable, but actually was slightly better than expected, With a bit of TLC and a better quality this would have been an ok movie, as it is is just another low budget violent film that, logically, didn't make it to the cinemas and went straight into DVD.
