Why Julie Roberts, Why. The only reason this movie gets 2 stars is because Gibson’s performance is great.
Rating: 2 / 5
I am at a loss to explain why Mel Gibson, an excellent actor in the right role (Braveheart, Mad Max) continues to do this goofy, phony self-concious acting, made infamous by his Lethal Weapon series. All I can think of is, ‘That must be one heck of a mortgage Mel…’
Rating: 1 / 5
Super dopey, I laughed out loud. So bad that it’s hard to beleive it was made. Gibson, as usual, tries to make the insane seem cutesy and lovable and does a horrible job. Basically, he just mugs for the camera. I, Static and other den members spent days ripping up this one.

I’m not bashing this movie, really. I like Mel Gibson. I like Julia Roberts. I enjoy the occasional “conspiracy” story line. So why did the combination fail? It’s easy…writing. I’m no writer of award winning screenplays, but the dialogue in this movie made me want to seek shelter in the script of a Barney episode. Contrived, forced, redundant, cliche, and I’m being kind. Mel is funny and attractive. Julia is also. They’re just the victims of a very bad script. Young writers take this one home and take notes on how not to develop a storyline.

Gibson perfected his maniacal rabid-dog persona in the endless Lethal Weapon series. Unfortunately someone forgot to tell him that this wasn’t Lethal Weapon XX111 (or whatever), so we get more of Riggs, only with a different name. As for the story – well, Hollywood has been hoodwinking us for years about paranoia, conspiracies, grassy knolls, cover-ups etc. X-files does it better, and without manic overacting. Let this one sink into oblivion – where it rightly belongs.
