- Edd BeesleyMarch 5, 2026Very dated now, the twist is predictable, little to no value in a rewatch
- Peter BickfordJuly 28, 2025A movie which oddly wears better in 2025 than in the year of its release.
- MR_BigTimeFebruary 8, 2026GERONIMO!!! Let me tell you right now. this is going to be a biased review. I DON'T CARE. Conspiracy Theory is one of those movies which can be silly, serious, funny, touching, far-fetched, and thought-provoking, all rolled into one. Gibson and Roberts are a delight, each in their own right and absolutely marvelous together. Whatever they sell, I'll buy. Gladly.
- DaveMay 2, 2025I used to love this movie but feel like as Ive aged my expectations are a little more than they were. Its still has a great cast with good acting but I feel like it was a little rushed and slightly jumbled up in its own story. I guess that could be because our boy Mel is a little jumbled up himself but it just didnt feel right. I enjoyed it but dont think it needs to be placed on the pedestal I had it on through my teen years.
