Sinopsis(1)
Jerry Fletcher, un excéntrico taxista de Nueva York, está convencido de que el mundo se rige por conspiraciones a gran escala de las que todos somos víctimas, y ése es el principal tema de conversación con sus clientes. Todos lo toman por loco. Jerry les asegura a todos que la NASA está provocando terremotos y que asesinará al Presidente aprovechando su estancia en Turquía. No deja de acosar a Alice, la joven ayudante del Fiscal que no sabe cómo quitárselo de encima. Pero, de pronto, los acontecimientos parecen darle la razón: unos hombres que parecen agentes del Gobierno lo secuestran y lo torturan. Tras conseguir escapar, Alice empieza a pensar que, tal vez, Jerry no esté tan loco como todos suponen. (Warner Bros. España)

Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts have at least one thing in common - Conspiracy Theory is my favorite movie they've made. You will rarely see such a sensational star duo. Conspiracy Theory is a flawless blend of comedy, thriller, action and romance that lacks nothing. Donner's honest direction is a treat, as taken straight from the 1980s, the opening title sequence with a taxi driving through the city reminds me of Scorsese's Taxi Driver, Patrick Stewart is a slime-ball, the unforgettable water torture scene permanently scares me, the "escape" with the wheelchair is somehow perversely entertaining... And to top it all off, it plays the best of all of Burwell's soundtracks. I give it five purely 100% stars and I give it a thumbs up.

Donner succeeded very well in blending genres. A little bit of decent psychology, several action-packed scenes, a few entertaining moments, and above all, excellent chemistry between the main stars. It's a difficult-to-classify hybrid, but its sense of originality and the psychopathic portrayal by Gibson are very good. It's definitely worth seeing, and nowadays it’s considered a classic. Along with Enemy of the State, an outstanding spy film, but compared to Tony Scott's film, it doesn't come across as nearly as hi-tech. Some people prefer one, others the other.

An ingeniously simple and simply ingenious source topic worth a million that really could have been made into something really good... Could have, but unfortunately wasn’t. This movie is further damaged by its length and the terrible ending where all of a sudden the movie begins taking itself seriously, but this ends up looking like a parody of itself. In any case, more than one good movie came out of collaboration between Donner and Gibson, and Conspiracy Theory is one of them. Despite saying that, this time the movie is merely good, but not outstanding.

I love conspiracy theory movies, and this is one of the better ones. Plus, there's the excellent Mel Gibson in the role of “scatterbrained" taxi driver, Jerry. Donner directs Conspiracy with a steady hand that will not leave you bored. And as a bonus, we have a brilliant scene where Jerry escapes from a building while strapped to a wheelchair. You just can't forget something like that.
