movie poster A ahhh! Conspiracy Theory... the movie with the conspiracies to keep you occupied when you just got nothing to do! Conspiracy Theory stars Mel Gibson (of course) as the paranoid cab driver, Jerry Fletcher, who comes up with really weird conspiracies with every breath that he takes. Of course, a movie wouldn't be a movie without a leading lady and this is where mel and julia Julia Roberts walks in. Julia plays a lawyer at the justice department who takes pity on Jerry and takes the time to listen to him although she doesn't take any of his ramblings seriously. How did this two meet? Well, it seems that Jerry saved Alice's (Julia Roberts) life when she was mugged and Jerry uses this reason to get close to Alice. Why? Well, Jerry has a crush on Alice. Awwww!

And so, one fine day, after Jerry posted his Conspiracy Theory Newsletter, he finds himself in serious trouble because it seems that one of his theories hit the nail right on the head! And so a Dr Jonas (Partick Stewart) comes into the story as the bad guy who wants to silence Jerry.

mel, julia and patrick

It seems that Dr Jonas had been working on a mind-control project experimenting on life humans and Jerry happened to be one of his patients. His purpose was to create an army of 'soldiers' or assassins and loan them to whoever who is willing to pay the price. And so, Jerry was assigned to bump Alice's dad was some reason that you will just have to find out yourself. But he couldn't do it because he just didn't have the heart to kill a fellow human being despite all the brainwashing and programming. And so, we find him as what he is today; paranoid and troubled by disturbing memories.

And so the story goes on....

mel What happens next in the movie? Well, you just have to watch the movie yourself to find out! Come on, just pop into your local video store and buy this fabulous movie. Trust me, you won't regret it! But, personally speaking, this movie falls short on my expectations. Call it the X-Files Syndrome but some times Conspiracy Theory is a bit draggy and an X-File episode might just have more punch. And the helicopter scene in the city is a bit unrealistic. I mean, mel here's a guy who wants to keep his mind-control thing secret but he goes about sending his henchmen in helicopters in a busy city and depositing them on the road! By the way it goes, I think Dr Jonas might just have to silence the whole city to keep his project a hush-hush thing!

By the way, if you haven't watched this movie, then you shouldn't be reading my review. I find that reading a review some times give a false idea about a movie and it will influence the way you feel about it. I watched Conspiracy Theory with a negative precognition after reading a review and look at what I have written!! If it wasn't for the review, I am quite sure that I would have enjoyed the movie better! So don't blame me if this Mel fan is a critic of sorts.
