  Conspiracy Theory
  
  A really good film enjoyed every minute. Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts were excellent together. In my opinion this film is a must.

  Best Gibson film
  
  This film is funny with the quirky acting of Gibson, heart rendering with the emotional performance from Roberts but all together very entertaining.

  Great double act....
  
  Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts are great together in this film.
  
  The storyline keeps you guessing and the end has really been well thought out.
