Pros: Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts, Story, Direction
Cons: Not many in this one
Summary: Conspiracy Theory (1997) "A good conspiracy is an unprovable one. I mean, if you can prove it, it means they screwed up somewhere along the line." Jerry Fletcher "Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you" is the ... read more

Pros: Gibson is pretty nifty. Keeps you awake.
Cons: Flat. Linear. Predictable. Supporting cast not so hot.
Summary: Jerry (Mel Gibson) drives a cab in New York City. He drives people where they need to go. All kinds of people. Cab drivers talk to passengers, like barbers, it's what they do. Some talk sports, some politics, some sex... Jerry talks conspiracies. ... read more

Pros: Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts

Cons: A few disturbing "torture" scenes.
Summary: Plot:
“A crackpot Big Apple cabbie finds himself in a heap of trouble after his self-published conspiracy 'zine elicits the interest of some shady government heavies--and leads to the unexplained murders of all five subscribers. As the J. ... read more

Pros: Mel & Julia demonstrate how much our differences can make us the same.
Cons: Plot is tough to follow
Summary: This movie is far different from many others I've seen. Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts are the most unexpectedly cute couple, thinking of each other when they are apart, despite straining circumstances. Then Patrick Stewart playing the villain? Wow. ... read more

Pros: Great actors, writing, direction, etc etc etc
Cons: Gibson's character, probably purposely so, can get a tad annoying
Summary: One would think that a movie starring Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts would have gotten more attention than it did. However, besides the occasional 8:00 television special, Conspiracy Theory has yet to be fairly recognized. Why?
I have ... read more

Pros: story, Mel Gibson, Patrick Stewart, conspiracy theories
Cons: bad execution of the story, unclear objective
Summary: There are those films that you can just feel that they're reaching, striving to be something more. The writer has a killer idea, the cast wants to put that idea on screen, and the director is trying his best. And for some strange reason they just can't ... read more

Pros: Great heart warming story (eventually)
Cons: distasteful scene near the beginning
Summary: Friendly chap is Mel, playing a New York cabbie, driving his passengers all over the city and regaling them with his slant on all manner of local and world events. We soon discover the depth of his problems (though not the cause) when flickering lights ... read more

Pros: ....
Cons: ......
Summary: An edgy movie based on just who is watching who that is watching who. Gibson plays a cab driver in New York - enough there to make you paranoid. He spends a lot of time watching Roberts through her windows. Other people spend a lot of time watching ... read more

Pros: The movie has a lot on its mind
Cons: None of it is on the screen
Summary: Conspiracy Theory wants very badly to be a paranoid thriller like The Manchurian Candidate. But instead of someone like Robert DeNiro, who could get inside the skin of a madman, it has cute little Mel Gibson doing another variation on his ... read more

Pros: Good name actors, good acting.
Cons: If the government agent had been a man and the romantic subtext eliminated, this movie would have at least saved us the embarrassment of being asked to believe such a relationship was possible.
Summary: How does the old saying go, "You're not paranoid if everyone really is out to get you"? There is comfort to be found in conspiracies for they allow us to believe that violence is not random, and that somebody, however sinister and brutal, is in ... read more

Pros: Reasonably entertaining
Cons: Much less than it should have been
Summary: This film didn't have nearly enough conspiracy theories. The opening scenes show what the movie could have been. Jerry Fletcher (Mel Gibson) drives people around in his taxi; and while he drives he talks. Fluoridated water. Whisperized helicopters. Red ... read more

Cons: some parts, like the helicopter scene were unbelievable IMO
