Bruce's Monkeys......all 12 of em

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2008)

it's been 13 years since i watched this,, for along time i absolutely hated this movie, so i thought i would give it another try,, wow, i guess i just didn't get it the first time,, this was really a great movie. I understood it a lot better this time, even though Bruce is the main character it doesn't feel like he is,, he has a strong supporting cast in Madeline Stowe, and Brad Pitt, Pitt's performance was okay,, Madeline Stowe on the other hand was brilliant,, Bruce plays sympathetic and crazy very well in this film. One thing i loved was the 12 Monkeys musical theme, very catchy French sounding. The plot was very detailed and makes you think,, the ending which i can't give away was brilliant i thought, the film makes you wonder if Bruce is crazy or if things are real,, the time travel in all,, going back to before the virus started,, then supposedly he was sent to the wrong year,, then somehow he gets in WW1. altogether it was a different kind of movie , that does take some getting used to. heck it took me 13 years , but i'm glad that i gave it a second look.
