Mel Gibson drives a taxi in New York. To say he has problems is an understatement. He is borderline nuts. He is totally infatuated with Julia Roberts who is employed by the Justice Dept. Her life has its problems too. Her father was a judge who was murdered, but there is a lot of controversy surrounding the man who was convicted of killing him, and she's not sure that he did it. Jerry (Gibson) is a conspiracy theorist and is convinced that there are government agencies waring with one another over power, and that the President is a target. Most of Jerry's problems stem from the fact that he was experimented upon, and was a victim of the M.K.Ultra program from the Cold War era. This was a mind control program whereas ordinary individuals could be programed to be assassins. This program was run by the CIA from 1950-70's. Jerry has no conscious recollection of these experiments, but has many flashbacks that he can't quite piece together. His attraction to Julia Roberts is also related to these experiments, but he has no idea just how, but he knows that he must protect her. The chief of the M.K. Ultra program, Dr. Jonas, has been looking for Jerry since he escaped. Jerry prints a paper called "Conspiracy Theory" and his ideas have Jonas very concerned. Jonas has to find out exactly what Jerry knows. The resulting actions and chase all go to prove Jerry's theories. This is a good movie.Read full review
Love the characters in this action packed movie! I don't doubt our sick government would use its citizens to do unthinkable things to voice their narrative...like mass shootings...hmmm....its possible, very possible.
