The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Basically I like the film. Unfortunately I find the performance of Mel Gibson mediocre at best. Really to bad. Gibson simply doesn't convince me. The main character would have deserved a more lived through performance. With Gibson I have the feeling he simply can't do better. Would have liked to see Brad Pitt as the main character. Would have been fun. Could perhaps have been an exceptionally good film than. Basically the characters of Gibson and Roberts somehow reminds me of Bruce Willis and Kathryn Railly as the so-called psychiatric patient and his psych in Twelve Monkeys which was released one year before in 1995. Only the execution of that film was considerably better.

I looked at the score of this film before watching it. 6.7/10, I thought, can't disappoint me. I know what I'm getting and I know what I'm in for. If it were rated 10, I'd expect a disappointment. If it were rated 4, I'd steer clear. I thought 6.7 was a fair rating.It's not. The film is less about conspiracy and more of a combination of action, car chase, random fights, guns, NYC street hacks, etc. It wants it to be about the big bad government, especially security agencies, but doesn't go too far with it to not upset people.It's too theatrical for my liking. A government agency has Doctor Jonas, an evil scientist who interrogates Fletcher (Gibson). Fletcher escapes, so Doctor Jonas conducts the investigation in finding him. Then Doctor Jonas conducts the manhunt to get Gibson. What? Is he or isn't he a doctor? Aren't there other agents that are better at this? Isn't the doctor part of his name mean that he's hired to do medical stuff, not conduct manhunts? Oh, this is one of those agencies where only one guy is in charge, he does everything himself, and everyone else is his goon. He has no superiors, no directives, no one to report to.The big names ruin the picture. Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts and Patrick Stewart are too high profile for this picture. I'm just not buying Gibson as a cabbie, sorry. Their forced attraction feels forced. I don't see him being attracted to her at all.Ultimately, this film is not entertaining. The mystery isn't that much of a mystery because everything is solved through action, not through investigation. This is a film about conspiracies, but the cabbie solves things by blocking a bridge with his car and running or tying a hot dog stand to an undercover car so that it drags it across the street.Not entertaining, not enlightening, not anything.

I've always been a fan of Conspiracy Theories so I figured I would check this one out,, it's above average,, based on the acting between our stars, Mel Gibson, Julia Robert,, and Patrick Stewart,, I was hoping for an actual conspiracy,, instead we get the old,, CIA, mind control stuff, rogue killer programmed to assassinate someone,, which isn't that bad, but some of the theories in the movie like the Oliver Stone --George Bush one,, I was like wow OK.. Mel's character, Jerry Fletcher is majorly paranoid, insanely crazy as one of his theories actually turns out to be true, problem for him is as he has so many now he has to figure out which theory he is right about,, he get's help from a young lady he saved from a mugging 6 months ago,, so he is like her guardian angel so to speak,, very interesting movie,, once you get by all the covert military mind control stuff.
