Gibson, Roberts help to make ‘Theory’ worthwhile CONSPIRACY from page 7 blatantly tongue-in-cheek moments in the script, Gibson keeps his char acter believable throughout the film. After “Braveheart” and this, Gibson may soon be able to fall into the ranks of one of the most respect ed actors of his generation. And even with a somewhat flat role, Roberts keeps her scenes alive as well. Donner’s direction is as furious as ever, with the action scenes tak ing on super-human speed and motion. The occasional overdone splash occurs (troops dropping from helicopters outside of a bookstore in downtown New York). But when it comes to straightforward action movies, Donner is one of the mas ters. The sad thing is that “Conspiracy Theory” could have been more than an action movie. The weak script and the somewhat predictable closure wind up sabo taging what could have been a very interesting commentary on paranoia in modern society and just how involved the government is in our lives. Instead, Donner and Silver relied on a few shoot-‘em-up scenes and the usual snappy comebacks to carry this film. Luckily, they had Gibson and Roberts to deliver them, and that’s what really elevates “Conspiracy Theory” beyond the usual summer-action fare. Courtesy Photo MEL GIBSON (left) is Jerry Fletcher, a cab driver and conspiracy theorist with a strange past, and Cylk Cozart is a mysterious government agent who is after him for some reason in the new Richard Donner action-thriller “Conspiracy Theory.” Blondes have more fun. Also, more skin cancer. /' * 1a For more information, ; AAD; see your dermatologist, wvvvv. aad. org 233Mhz MMX NOTEBOOK COMPUTER 2.1qig H.D, 32MB RAM, Active Matrix w/2MB VRAM, S'* 6 Voice/Fax Modem Windows95, Loaded, Collegiate Computers, 402-477-1252 Custom Computer Systems built to specs.
