Conspiracy Theory
Medium Popcorn
This was a tough movie for me to rate. I liked the movie , but there was something about it that just didn't sit right. It's hard to explain, but go see it and see what you think. It's a good story about Jerry Fletcher, played by Mel Gibson, a strange taxi driver who believes that many of the occurances in the world are deeply engrained conspiracies by the government. He is befriended by Justice Department Agent Alice Sutton, played by Julia Roberts, because he had saved her from being mugged a few months back. Jerry becomes obsessed with Agent Sutton, and constantly insists on barging into her office to tell her his latest theory. But one of his latest theories gets him in trouble, and she somehow finds herself in the middle of it all. The story for the movie was incredibly original and interesting, and Mel Gibson puts on another great performance. But, for some reason, they did things that killed the movie. I don't want to reveal too much, but I will say that a perfectly good movie was "Hollywoodized" and subsequently butchered. Has the world learned nothing about on screen relationships from "The X-Files".
