Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: En route to this cynical fade-out, Conspiracy Theory does show off enough glossy style ... and incidental cleverness to keep viewers largely hooked.
Rotten: ...the strong impact that Gibson makes as damaged goods is diluted by selling Jerry as cute and redeemable.
Rotten: In the hands of stars in denial about their stardom and a director who can't be bothered to take things seriously, it has come out implausible and unsatisfying, a comic thriller that is not especially funny or thrilling.
Fresh: What makes Conspiracy Theory interesting beyond its cleverness and currency is how the filmmakers manipulate our feelings about its protagonist, Jerry, a New York City cab driver.
Customer Reviews
I Loved It
An absolute must see. It's thought provoking and entertaining. Mel Gibson gives an excellent performance. I have to admit though, having never actually read Catcher in the Rye, I'm now curious to see what exactly it's about... I hope more people stumble across this film, it doesn't seem to be getting enough attention. (especially with only 3 reviews so far, mine included)
makes people who don
makes people who don't believe the lamestream media out to be conspiracy kooks
when in reality it's the other way around
Wonderful movie!
I don't know why, but this movie wants me to go out and buy "The Catcher in the Rye". A must see and a must have!
