IMAGINE that every
second of the day,
you’re being watched

- by people who want
you dead.

Who are these people?

Well, the FBI, CIA, MIB
and any other form of gov-
ernment intelligence with
funky initials.

Why do they want you
dead?

-;, Because you run a little
newsletter with a handful of
‘subscribers.

Yeah right, like you’re
really a threat to the country
.. OF are you?

‘In Robert Donner’s. The
Conspiracy Theory, Mel
Gibson stars as the paranoid
Jerry Fletcher, a cab driver
who writes a newsletter with
his theories on hidden con-
spiracies plaguing the gov-

-ernment. - .

The film leads us to

believe that Fletcher’s inter-
est in lawyer Alice Suttor
(played by Julia Roberts) is
a double-sided coin — she is
his only real link to the press
and she just happens to look
pretty good in a short skirt
with pumps.

Gibson’s beliefs keep him
on his toes, and justifiably
so; he’s got the sadistic Dr.

Jonas (Patrick Stewart) of
the CIA on his tail, watch-
ing every move.

If Fletcher so much as
goes to the little boy’s
room, surely a camera will
be waiting in the roilet.

The great thing about
The Conspiracy Theory is
that while it’s by no means
a low-budget independent
(with the price tags of two
A-list actors in Gibson and
Roberts approaching the
eight-digit range), the film
is powered by a deep script
and Osear-calibre perfor-
mances. No exploding
cruise ships necessary in this
one.

Gibson’s performance is
something of magic. There
is something about him that
brings across an amazing
sense of character and
charisma into every role,
even some Joe Blow taxi dri-
ver.

But by the same token,
there is also a down-to-earth
quality thar he exudes; a
tough task, considering he
was People magazine’s
“Sexiest Man Alive.”

Take nothing away from
Julia Roberts or Patrick
Stewart though. Robert’s
portrayal of the sexy
Sutton’s innocence was
refreshing and convincing,
and as far as Captain Picard,
he’s come a long way since
the days of, “Aye, number
one.”

The Conspiracy Theory is a
mystifyingly mysterious mas-
terpiece that I would hon-
estly recommend to any and
all moviegoers.

Hold on a second. Is that
Oscar [ smell?
