Conspiracy Theory Audience Reviews

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Artur Machado Action/mystery/thriller and some romance with Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts e Patrick Stewart. Gibson gives one of his best roles and is the only legitimate reason to see this movie. The title is misleading, as it suggests immersion in some one of the various conspiracy theories, but the film turns out to be only a generic generality in this regard, serving only as a pretext for a thriller with a basic convoluted plot and for Gibson to be able to shine in his depiction of crazy conspiracy theorist nutcase. In the end it turns out to be just another action thriller with nothing memorable to highlight.
jessegehrig Let's talk about sadness. Hey, IMDb, let's talk about a type of sadness that lingers that follows along that haunts in bitter eternity across your life. Or, I guess there is this movie, I could review it? Actors got phone calls, which lead to meetings. Those meetings resulted in lawyers receiving phone calls. Those lawyers had meetings and from those meetings it was deemed that this movie could be made. An insurance company gets their cut. Yes, at least one prostitute was paid on a production company credit card, it's cool. Also there is a soundtrack which can still be purchased. At this very moment, you could go on Amazon.com and find a copy of this movie or it's soundtrack. Sadness.
Catherine_Grace_Zeh CONSPIRACY THEORY, in my opinion, is an excellent thriller by Richard Donner. When Jerry (Mel Gibson) and Alice (Julia Roberts) were in danger or being pursued, I got a little scared. This was because I didn't want to see them get hurt. It was fun watching them outsmart the bad guys, though. If you ask me, Dr. Jonas (Patrick Stewart) was a really slimy fellow. Also, I thought that Alice was a very beautiful woman. To sum this up, the performances were top grade, the direction was flawless, and the casting was perfect. Now, in conclusion, if you are a fan of Mel Gibson or Julia Roberts, I highly recommend this movie. You're in for a good time and lots of thrills, so see this movie today. I guarantee you that you'll have a good time, so rent it or buy it, kick back with a friend, lock the doors and windows, and watch it.
hudemerges First I have to tell you: This is one of the most great film ever. But I didn't feel that way at the first watch. The thing is, I saw this film about a 100 times. And I always found new things, hidden things, or just too obvious to spot things in there. I will not start to explain it here, but I'm sure they worked very hard to put together the scenes. Many objects have its own meaning (for example the taxi badge in last scene), and these are not explained in the speeches, you just have to look very carefully. And the rest? The actors made their best. The scenes well developed, the fast and slow scenes have a good rhythmic. The music is perfect for this film. The humor? I found this film funny all the 100 times, so it have to be damn good. And the story? Well, I read the comments here, and I found out, somebody got some familiar ideas. There are many storyline collide in here. But the main story (a mentally injured man try to hold the last bit of his sanity by his love) is great. I understand this is not a technically great film, and there are not raining aliens from every corner, there are no hills of bullets, but you have to feel the pressure of the unknown enemy. We didn't know, how Jerry (Mel Gibson) was applied for the brainwashing program in the first place, but you can feel, it could be you or anyone else. Jerry just a normal guy, and he has no special skills. That makes him so likable. About Alice Sutton (Julia Roberts) plays very nicely. And about the evil, representing by Dr. Jonas (Patrick Stewart), well... The film mostly follow Jerry, and lot of time Alice, and rarely we watch someone else, like as a gunmen of the evil organization, or something like this. But we never see Dr. Jonas, from Dr. Jonas's point of view. We only see him when interact with Jerry or Alice or other character, and from their point of view. The truth is, he never even lie, only dezinform. If you watch the movie many times, it's clear, he never thinks himself, as a bad guy. He got a position, made some success, but sometimes failed and that is unacceptable. So he try to repair his faults. Even, if this mean he have to kill more and more people. Good question who is the real crazy guy in this movie. Therefore, I think Stewart made a great job here. This character is really nicely fit in the bad guy picture, who tortured many person, make them killers. So, if you didn't watched this film yet, do it, at least twice.
