Very good. Although towards the end it gets too over-the-top.

Rating: 7/10 (7 August 2012)

Twelve Monkeys stars Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe and Brad Pitt in an Oscar Nominated Performance. Twelve Monkeys is the story of James Cole (Willis) who lives in a world underground with the surviving humans from a man-made disease which was set in motion in 1997. He is sent back, before the disease plagues the world and eliminates most of the entire human race, to gather information about how it happened, why it happened, and who was involved.
I watched this film under the impression that it was going to be amazing. It isn't quite "amazing" but it's still pretty good. The story line is very clever and innovative. The script was well written, the acting was great especially from Brad Pitt, who is usually great in most things. The directing was cool, with some nice, tricky shots that I quite liked. The ending was good. Most things were good, but there were a few things which throw me off it.
I felt it went a little over-the-top for my liking towards the end, Madeleine Stowe annoyed the hell out of me, she just isn't that good of an actor. Although there isn't many complaints, they are still big to me, which is why it will only receive a 7/10. It could have gotten an 8.
