Review of Conspiracy Theory (1997) by Stanley M — 30 Sep 2014

Conspiracy Theory is a fairly good movie, it's entertaining but it did tend to drag for me in parts and felt inconsistent as a whole. Mel Gibson's performance waffles between brilliance and just plain OTT and I had a hard time believing any part of the romancy thing going on between him and Julia Roberts as he was just a little too certifiable for anyone to fall for. And while the whole conspiracy/Manchurian Candidate aspect was super interesting there were sections explaining this storyline that just went on too long and ended up being really boring. 08.13(2).

"In this taut thriller a paranoid cab driver (Mel Gibson) stumbles onto a conspiracy worthy of the justice departments attention. Julia Roberts plays a government attorney who gets embroiled in a deadly race to find the truth.".
