Video rental tip: if you really want to see The Manchurian Candidate, rent The Manchurian Candidate. It’s one of the best films ever made. Conspiracy Theory, on the other hand, comes across as a pale imitation, with maybe a little Taxi Driver stirred in for good measure. Mel Gibson’s wacky antics do little to rescue this one from the realm of forgettable, bush-league political thrillers. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
