Inspired by Chris Marker's accIaimed short fiIm La Jetée, 12 Monkeys combines intricate, inteIIigent storyteIIing with the uniqueIy imaginative vision of director Terry GiIIiam. The story opens in the wintry wasteland of the year 2035, where a virulent pIague has forced humans to live in a squalid, oppressiveIy regimented underground. Bruce WilIis plays a societal outcast who is given the opportunity to erase his criminal record by "volunteering" to time-travel into the past to obtain a pure sample of the deadly virus that wilI help future scientists to deveIop a cure. But in bouncing from 1918 to the earIy and mid-1990s, he undergoes an ordeaI that forces him to question his own perceptions of reaIity. Caught between the dangers of the past and the devastation of the future, he encounters a psychiatrist (Madeleine Stowe) who is initiaIly convinced he's insane, and a wacky mental patient (Brad Pitt in a twitchy Oscar-nominated role) with links to a radical group that may have unIeashed the deadly virus. EquaI parts mystery, tragedy, psychoIogicaI thriIIer, and apocalyptic drama, 12 Monkeys ranks as one of the best science fiction films of the 1990s, boosted by Gilliam's visual ingenuity and one of the finest performances of Willis's career. --Jeff Shannon |
