A Masterpiece!

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Val Kilmer sleep walks through this film as if he's just lost his best friend. He is so portly that this movie would resemble a spaghetti western where the hero ate all of the spaghetti. There is even a nude scene where Kilmer, encased in hairless blubber, is laid out on a tile floor naked. Never before have I seen such phony fight scenes. Bad guys rush Kilmer but are mysteriously thrown to the ground by a telekinetic force. This happens over and over again. The overweight hero walks into town and speaks to the semi attractive woman at the "lending" library. Why not just "library"? Don't all libraries imply the word "lending" without saying it? Anyway, this woman practically throws her back out and makes ridiculous facial contortions as she flirts shamelessly with our corpulent hero. He takes it all in stride, as if it happens all the time; his face never deviating from a depressing scowl. I would have thought he'd enter the sandwich shop or the nearest deli before looking for a book. And the entire movie looks as if it were shot with a video camera; it probably was. Pathetic.

I watched Conspiracy last night, and wanted my hour and half back. Before going into the plot, I fould myself cheering for the "bad guys" to win, since I cared not for the "good guy" and not really caring that he could die or be hurt. I thought the "betrayal" of the police officer was stupid and I could see it coming a mile away. The villains were over the top and were not slightly sympathetic. Plotwise, this was a pure propaganda piece for the Hollywood Left, and the leftists out there. If you don't support illegals in America and hate American business, you are a bigoted murderer. Such a simple plot should be seen through by everyone, but I noticed a number of reviewers were taken in by the propaganda. It is not the fact that this movie would have been produced by Goebbels himself that makes it bad, it is the fact that Goebbels would be embarrassed to put his name to it as an example of ametueristic propaganda. Following these black marks, any objective person would reject the message of the movie itself. It clearly was made to change people over to the addled liberal viewpoint, and in keeping with their only method of conversion, doesn't use facts or dicta to do so. Their opponents are shown to be wholly reprehensible people, and the poor man's Eva Menedes (Jennifer Esposito) explains that America is horrible and its greatest soldier must bring it down. Utter rubbish, and a purely emotional plea. The ONLY redeemed quality occurs in the first five minutes of the movie. Alesia Riabenkova's breasts are quite stunning, and she is a very beautiful woman. Her body is the only reason this movie deserves a positive star rating (and the fact that IMDb doesn't let you put them up there).

This movie sucked. I mean... wow. I surely didn't expect a masterpiece. But the actual level of suckitude left me speechless and almost breathless, as if my body was trying to rescue itself into sweet unconsciousness. It reminded me, and heavily at that, of Steven Seagal. But not the Seagal of "Under Siege" or "On Deadly Ground", who we all came to love. No, I mean the Steven Seagal who brought us straight-to-video suckfests like "Black Dawn".Val Kilmer, like Seagal, is just a blimp, floating through the foggy remains of a story, while it rains wooden puppets. Who of course are the other actors in my weird little analogy.Every little thing in this movie is bad and sucks in ways where there are no more words to articulate a warning. So let me just say this: DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! Thank you for your attention.

The good guys are good and the bad guys are real bad. Val Kilmer plays a one-legged Billy Jack in a nice twist on a story that will continue forever. Former special forces bad-ass who doesn't want to fight no-more gets roped into an evil environment (with a Dick Cheney clone as Darth Vader) and he finally gets pushed a little too far. He moves fast invisibly "Like a ghost" - with one leg. Works as well here as in old-fashioned radio theater.Low-budget and thus sparse but well done with myriad close-ups and all characters as caricatures. There is no pretense of realism and thus it works as a comic book on screen. Screenplay, direction, camera work and acting are all at least interesting.
