Just because you're paranoid...

In 1997's Conspiracy Theory, Jerry Fletcher (Mel Gibson) is a conspiracy theorist. He has a conspiracy for everything and is constantly talking about them. He publishes a newsletter that has five subscribers.Jerry is in love with Alice Sutton (Julia Robert's) whom he saved from a mugging. She works for the US attorney. Jerry visits her constantly without an appointment. She lets him even though she's not totally sure why.It turns out that one of Jerry's conspiracy theories is correct because he's picked up and tortured by the CIA. He manages to escape.When Alice visits him in the hospital, he tells her he's going to be killed and begs her to switch his chart with the man across from him. Alice denies doing it the next day when the man across from Jerry suddenly dies, and she's told it's the wrong man, not Jerry.For what it was, the film was too long. It is, however, intriguing. Gibson does a good job as a man who acts crazy and spends a lot of time talking to himself. Robert's plays the confused Alice well.Lots of New York City scenes. For me Richard Donner's direction is a little scattered. I saw this film at a screening. It came and went quickly.

If you think they might be out to get you it's possible they just be might be!

When I picked up this video for a couple of bucks I'd never heard of it, and Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts don't seem a likely pair. I was therefore pleasantly surprised by the film. It has heart, decent performances, especially by Gibson who plays against type, an interesting story, quite a few surprises, and for anyone who loves a good conspiracy this presents one. I've seen it several times and it always entertains. Definitely worth a look.
