Conspiracy (2008)
1/10
Bad propaganda
27 March 2008
It's kinda like Rambo, but instead of a cut Sly, it has a bloated, and practically sleepwalking Val Kilmer. And instead of real police baddies and the national guard, it's neo-Nazi western sheriffs and the extras from Blazing Saddles. Instead of Rambo resisting arrest, wigging out and escaping into the forest, MacPheron asks a question, drops a napkin and the whole town freaks, arrests him, pummels him in his jail cell and tries to eradicate all trace of him so that the denizens of God's country can feel safe under Rhode's wild west town/Haliburton occupation.

My favorite scene is when Val, sporting a black tank top, manages to kill several fully armed cowboys in the wide open spaces in broad daylight by lobbing kitchen knives sidearm. "Damn it; I can't see him. He's like a ghost!" Truly terrible, and it reduces the complex issues of war and illegal immigration to the most radically liberal propaganda points, depicting Arizonans as twisty mustached bigots who can't wait to kill Mexicans. Where's the anti-defamation league when you need them?
