20 Mind Blowing Conspiracy Movies You Must Watch

If, like me, you think Ralph Fiennes is a pretentious, over-rated arse and Rachel Weisz is an obnoxious, over-bearing €˜talent€™ stretching mediocrity to its very limits then€ this is definitely the flick for you! They deliver performances here that are absolutely opinion-changing in their exquisiteness. After his wife (played by Weitz) is murdered in Kenya, Fiennes€™ Justin Quayle - a mild, low-level British diplomat - must investigate her death, their relationship, and his own heart. In flashbacks, we see them meet, marry, and fall in love; we follow her in the teeming streets and clinics of Nairobi trying to help the poverty-stricken and dying. In his own investigation, Justin faces his memories, his colleagues, local police, hired thugs, and a pharmaceutical corporation who will do anything to stop the truth from seeing the light of day. This film really is as ace as you€™ve heard it to be and if you haven€™t checked it already then really do hunt it out. It€™s timely, it€™s thought-provoking and, in the ever-excellent Bill Nighy, you have one of the big screen€™s best-ever representations of what real-life evil looks like!
