Conspiracy Theory You have to really be a BIG fan of either Mel Gibson or Julia Roberts to like this movie. I was with someone who is a HUGE Mel Gibson fan & she really enjoyed the movie. I thought it was ok. Neither Mel or Julia should have been cast in this film, - they just aren't the right types. Mel is simply not believable enough as a deranged, paranoid. I kept envisioning someone, ANYONE else cast instead with alot more edge & attitude. I think partially that Mel was just too jaunty to be believable as a mentally-disabled, paranoid man. On the other hand, Patrick Stewart was excellent as the villian. He was so icy & scary. Extremely good job in this. The action (once it gets going) is good. Unfortunately, I felt this was a movie which could have been so much better & just wasn't.
