Conspiracy (2008)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The Worst Film Ever

best movie i've ever seen.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

A horrible racist anti-white ripoff of Jean-Claude Van Damme & Rosanna Arquette's 1993 "Nowhere to Run" where (in this movie) all whites are evil murdering slavers. It claims somehow a single business man started the whole Iraq war just to sale bombs & "somehow" knew he would get paid to rebuild the country after. He's suppose to be some kind of neo-nazi extremist, "enslaving" Mexicans, by giving them jobs in America, yet the same guy doesn't want any Mexicans in America (????). A total work of racist crap fiction with absolutely no basis in reality. I'll be keeping a watch out for this writer, as well as the director & producer so as not to wast any money on any of there movies!

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).

I think a lot of us are being too harsh! I thought Val Kilmer did a great job. He came off depressed because his character WAS depressed: trying to integrate back into society after going through what he did would be unimaginable, and even worse when suffering from PTSD. He seems distracted because he is constantly fighting old battles in his head. I thought when he was being intimidated by the evil Rhodes in the diner his attitude was perfect: This is NOTHING compared to situations he's been through and Rhodes does not even matter to him. Yes, the plot was a bit predictable but wasn't it just oh so satisfying when he cuts off the disgusting E.B.'s fingers and shoots out his knee? And I think this story does have political significance. I'm Canadian but it still deeply disturbs me to ponder how companies like Halliburton make their billions. I agree with others who say that this movie most likely lost some of its lustre in the editing room. Another element I didn't care for was the undercover deputy. It just didn't quite come off quite right and I would have preferred MacPherson to kick ass by himself. All in all I am willing to overlook all that because of Val's intriguing performance. I don't think he half-assed it at all, in fact I think he hit the character right on the head.

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.
