A masterpiece and very good film if you have any sense of adventure.

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2003)

This film is great in nearly everyway. It has one of the greatest and most thorough plots (which is very hard for me to describe, so I recommend you go to the plot summary section if you want to hear it).
The acting is great. Brad Pitt plays a nutjob, and he excels at it. I didn't think he could do it, but he looks like he really is spazzing out and belongs in an insane asylum when you see his evil smile. Bruce Willis also perfectly fits the role of the mostly-mellow Cole, who just seems to explode every now and then.
Directive work, as usual with Terry Gilliam's work, is great. It's like the script was designed for Gilliam, and it shows.
If there was ever a sci-fi movie that I would consider to be one of the greatest and under-rated movies of all time, this would be it. Twelve Monkeys gets you thinking about the future, about the past; it gets your adrenaline going. It's a near-perfect film if you have any sense of adventure.
