Conspiracy Theory (DVD, 1997)

It's hard to believe that a film starring both Mel Gibson and Patrick Stewart could have no redeeming qualities whatsoever, but Conspiracy Theory comes mighty close. Gibson stars as Jerry Fletcher, a New York cabbie who's obsessed with trendy conspiracy theories to the exclusion of all other things, but when his incessant snooping draws the ire of a mysterious government agent (Stewart), Jerry turns to Federal attorney Alice Sutton (Julia Roberts) in the hopes that she can protect him. Gibson, who may be a fine actor in most things, is completely miscast here, and he fails to be convincing as a hyperactive, paranoid washout. Conspiracy Theory may have been better with a stronger character actor in the leading role, but the meandering plot still leaves a great deal to be desired.

This is one of my favorite movies. I actually wore out my original dvd from watching it so many times. Although my first dvd I purchased at a store was damaged and there are actually a few scenes I have never seen!
A movie about a man that knows things but really doesn't know why he does and goes through the paper to figure out all the things that are going to happen or happening in the world, it's amazing. When you think you have some things figured out, another scene starts and you question yourself. This has to be one of the best movies of all time, at least in my opinion. If someone has never seen it, they shouldn't waste any time, buy one and be ready to enjoy a great movie.

I love this movie, it shows the post crazy mel gibson. In an awesome role partnered with Julia Roberts. It is very funny and shows a great conspiracy theory.

DVD arrived in perfect condition and quickly. This is a relly good movie but passed over often by Julia Roberts and Mel Gibson fans. As well as conspiricy fans. I enjoyed giving it to a friend.

This is one of the best acting performances that I've ever seen. Mel Gibson is totally believable as a borderline insane person. The movie is very interesting. You do have to suspend some logical beliefs somewhat, but it reminds me a lot of "Enemy of the State" in the way that things play out. Very enjoyable.
