12 Monkeys(1995)- User Reviews

A Must-see Classic That's Sure to Amaze, Thrill

star55

Intellectually and spiritually awesome, 12 Monkeys uses its thrilling storyline, visionary directing and "A+" turns from Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt to make one of the all time instant classics.

The story is chilling, thought provoking and beautifully put together by Terry Gilliam. Though inspired by a 1960s short film, the movie is strikingly original and takes its audience into a whole new world of creativity and flat out exciting film making. Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt are in pure form here, and I won't hesitate to say it is probably the best acting Willis has ever done.

12 Monkeys' unique style and gutsy moves make it even more superb; and the edge of your seat feeling that I desire each time I see a movie like this was fulfilled better than being a kid in a candy store. And anyone is sure to marvel at its spectacular final sequence. I don't know how else to say this. If Blade Runner (one of my all time favorite films) is the standard for Sci-Fi Film Noir, this movie edges closer than any other film I've seen in a long time. Grade: A
