Superb plot & direction make this an awesome film.

Rating: 9/10 (18 April 2001)

I was never a Bruce Willis fan, but fortunately this did not stop me from seeing TWELVE MONKEYS. This is truly a rare film- one that asks you to think rather than insulting your intelligence. The film is so intricate that it takes several viewings to fully appreciate it. It is NOT your average time-traveling fare, and puts most so-called "sci-fi" films to utter shame. Is there any doubt that Terry Gilliam is a genius?
Beautiful visions and camera work, taut plot & acting make this a must-see/ must own film.
I gave this film a 9 of 10 rating.
Personally, I wish Hollywood would spawn more films like this, as opposed to the cheesy dreck which seems to be so popular these days.
