Dir: Terry Gilliam
1995
****
A fantastic sci-fi mystery from Gilliam who can probably boast being a genre unto himself. Fine performances by a capable cast but it's Brad Pitt who really steals the show in one of his finest performances so far in his carrier. It's the captivating mystery of what the Twelve Monkeys actually are that carry the film, the conclusion has split people down the middle before but I found it to be beautifully bleak and not at all disappointing.
