A Great Mystery To Be Unravelled

Rating: 8/10 (12 January 2010)

"12 Monkeys" plays as a great jigsaw puzzle that slowly pieces itself together to finally make sense in the end.
The beginning is a mess. The audience has no idea what is going on, but it really made me want to continue to unravel the mystery. Throughout most of the movie you believe that James really is a time traveler who is out to stop the 12 Monkey Army, but somewhere in the second half of the film you start to think "perhaps he really is just insane."
Willis and Pitt's characters work very well off one another during their time in the insane asylum. Of course, Pitt's character is very fun and I really wished he could have been on the screen for longer than he was.
There is not much more I can really say about this movie. If you are looking for a mystery that you slowly solve throughout the course of the film, "12 Monkeys" is the perfect watch for you.
