Conspiracy Theory (R) 6.0

Conspiracy Theory (1997): Jerry Fletcher is a man in love with a woman he observes from afar. She works for the government. Fletcher is an outspoken critic of that government. He has conspiracy theories for everything, from aliens to political assassinations. (6.5)

Director: Richard Donner
Writer: Brian Helgeland
Stars: Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts and Patrick Stewart

A typical Hollywood action, drama, conspiracy, vet, spy, ... meh! Yeah, lots of action with all sorts of guys with guns, helicopters, etc but the story has so many holes and inconsistencies. The first part where the character building happens is somewhat amusing. After that, the story is all downhill, full of unrealistic action sequences followed by an ending with a typical feel-good Hollywood style melodrama. My Rating: 6.0
