The Conspiracy

Now this is just silly

This isn't exactly a conspiracy theorist's dream. While it points to a seedy underworld where a privileged few control the masses, it also posits the question, "but are things really that bad?". This is a faux-documentary, with the bulk of its final act shot by hidden cameras. If you are looking for a rich visual experience, this isn't the movie you want to watch. The movie's main character, Aaron, claims that we are slaves to a secret society, but his friend Jim really isn't so certain. Jim goes along with Aaron's plans to infiltrate the secret club, even though he is perfectly happy with his life at home with his wife and child. That infiltration is eerie enough, but it underwhelms. What doesn't is the twist of an ending which I liked and subsequently forced me to lift my rating score a couple of points. I'd like to say that I saw it coming, but I don't think a lot of other viewers will anticipate what happens, either.
