Wonderful Movie and Probably Terry Gilliam's Best

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2013)

As I saw this movie the first time it was just amazing. The different settings and story lines and also the acting was very appreciate. In my opinion it was one of Bruce Willis' best performances, Brad Pitt was also good in his role, he proved that he can play more difficult roles. In Se7en which was published the same year he did also a very good performance but his role in that movie was not so sophisticated.
Twelve Monkeys may be Terry Gilliam's best movie, among Brazil which has also this kind of "Terry Gilliam Fantasy". But in a nutshell it is very difficult to describe that movie without spoilers. But in common the plot is that James Cole (Bruce Willis) is sent back from the year 2035 into 1996 to stop a pandemic that will cause the death of millions of people in the next two years. But now I have to stop because now the spoiler alert is alarming. But nevertheless you have to pay attention in every part of that movie.
The only point that makes the movie not a masterpiece is that the role and the acting of Madeleine Stowe in this movie is not very convincing or interesting. But yet every single character is important for the movie. So pay attention and you will experience a nearly perfect movie. Maybe Terry Gilliam's next movies can spread that "Terry Gilliam Fantasy" of Twelve Monkeys.
