A Bumpy Mental Ride

Rating: 8/10 (7 September 2019)

Twelve Monkeys is a film that has an eclectic group of strong characters and a time-bending plot that guides it's viewer on a mentally straining adventure. You get to hold the hand of James Cole as he drags you through a distorted reality that will have you questioning your own sanity. The broken-up plot comes together in scattered flashbacks but it gives the viewer just enough guidance to help them understand how the story unfolds as a whole. The cinematography fits the ambiance of the film perfectly with its tilted camera angles and uncomfortable closeups. It's an original film that will have any viewer on the edge of their seat until they're able to piece together this eery dystopian adventure.
