gretz-569-323863 I watched this on a Saturday afternoon while doing laundry, and that's about what it's good for. don't expect "Citizen Kane." movies like this require some suspension of disbelief. plot holes you could drive the proverbial truck through, characters behaving in ways no real human being would ever behave...you have to be able to say "Oh well, at least I'll see some stuff get blown up." and you will, so it's all good.most of the fight scenes seem to have been filmed in a forest fire, with shadows and smoke obscuring much of the action--or, more precisely, non-action, since as other reviewers have noted, Val Kilmer's character is able to beat bad guys to a pulp without ever striking a blow.you will also have to ignore some knee-jerk lefty politics. yeah yeah, illegal immigrants good, Halliburton bad...we get it. but the plot is so tenuous it really doesn't matter.in summary: if it's on free cable, watch it; you'll be moderately entertained for an hour or so.

Bill357 I am so glad that I rented Conspiracy before buying it!It was completely surprising to find out exactly how much Val Kilmer was emotionally invested in this movie! Judging by his bloated appearance and sleepwalking performance, I assumed he was only in it for the money and was bored or that he was deliberately trying to sabotage a film he felt was beneath him!In all four of the Val Kilmer movies I've seen lately (Conspiracy, Moscow Zero, Felon, and Dead Man's Bounty where he plays a corpse) he appears to be clinically depressed! I don't know what Val needs more, Weight Watchers or Lithium!Of the whole wooden cast only Gary Cole seems to be having any fun.Everything they say about the silly leftist slant of Conspiracy is true. I don't know any left-wingers that even watch any straight-to-video action movies. The only reason I can even conceive of this being made is as a Trojan Horse to get into living rooms and spit in the face of the people whom the filmmakers disagree.This is one big political screed that should be ignored as much as possible.

vitaleralphlouis This could have been an enjoyable action picture for Americans (we 50%) who respect and love our soldiers, and admire their ability to get a tough job done; BUT..........Val Kilmer plays a Special Forces veteran, home from Iraq, who goes to Arizona looking for his buddy, where he'll eventually find a load of trouble from a bad guy named Rhodes. What spoils the movie is the Liberal Democrat viewpoint that the Iraq War was/is being fought for the sole purpose of profit for war racketeers like this guy Rhodes. Mr. Rhodes, we are to believe, is a typical Republican. Worse, we are told the entire Border Security problem is for the sole purpose of more profiteering and that the Minuteman volunteers are a bunch of henchmen on the take from the likes of Rhodes. Can anybody say George Soros? Can anybody say Obama? Cut-n-run Democrats might enjoy this but they ought to just be embarrassed by it.

Will Von Wizzlepig Film is entertainment, to be sure, but film is also art.In the entertainment category, this movie is essentially interchangeable with any random episode of "the Dukes of Hazzard" or "the A-Team". That is, campy garbage.In the art category, it's somewhere between soul-less, mass-produced garbage (see also, comics in the paper which ran their course years ago but which continue on anyway) and something your kid made which you are forced to display on the refrigerator. That is, hollow, of low-quality, and unimpressive.Sad for Val Kilmer, who was so very recently awesome in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang". I guess it's no surprise- IMDb shows he worked on nine different projects in 2008. Perhaps one of his other projects will make up for it.I give the movie a 3 merely for its technical merit- the prize you get for showing up, so to speak- and the fact that the movie hints at a conspiracy concerning the USA and war {gasp!}.
