Review of Conspiracy Theory (1997) by Guido S — 14 Nov 2013
Mel gibson is a taxi driver who spews off all the conspiracies to his clients and follows Julia Roberts who is a government attorney and form a weird bond. Eventually, Gibson is captured and tortured in a bit of brainwashing that goes bad and he escapes.
He and Julia are on the run from the government in a conspiracy. Sounds like it could have been a good movie, but it is not. Gibson is great as a crazy man for obvious reasons, but Roberts seems like she is out of place the whole time and her performance is really best described as sleepwalking.
It really brings things down. That's not the only thing, the story is simple, but it is long at over 2 hours and it really suffers from stretching such a simple concept too thin. I'll give credit to Gibson and a decent idea, but everything else is a mess.
