Conspiracy Theory (1997, DVD)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
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.
