A good suspenseful action flick starring Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts is about an obsessively paranoid man, who thinks that "everything" is a conspiracy, finally stumbles upon a real one. He must protect himself as well as Julia Roberts from "them" who are out to ruin their lives. I don't want to give anything else away because the plot unravels as the film progresses, but I didn't particularly care for what the film unraveled to. Nevertheless, The Conspiracy Theory will leave you transfixed onto the screen wondering what will happen next. A very interesting film, but not great; the acting is only adequate considering the talents involved. It's still worth seeing.
