Overview

In the year 2035, convict James Cole reluctantly volunteers to be sent back in time to discover the origin of a deadly virus that wiped out nearly all of the earth’s population and forced the survivors into underground communities. But when Cole is mistakenly sent to 1990 instead of 1996, he’s arrested and locked up in a mental hospital. There he meets psychiatrist Dr. Kathryn Railly, and patient Jeffrey Goines, the son of a famous virus expert, who may hold the key to the mysterious rogue group, the Army of the 12 Monkeys, thought to be responsible for unleashing the killer disease.

Viewing Notes

I forgot just how good this movie is. One of my favorite things about it is how well Pitt does at being the distraction for the audience. His performance is so captivating that the audience naturally focuses their attention on his character, just as the characters do in the film itself.

Also, Madeline Stowe is astonishingly beautiful in this film. She really deserved more film work. I know she’s doing TV stuff for the most part now, but I miss seeing her on the big screen.
