The movie begins in the year 2025, and a deadly virus has killed off all but a small percentage of the world. The surviving few live underground and are drafted as volunteers to journey to the past and explore just who at what initiated the virus. Enter Bruce Willis. Willis {Jays Cde, a reluctant volunteer, who, despite his criminal instincts, is sent back to 1990 in hope of tracing the roots of the virus.

Pitt, acting as a clairvoyant of sorts, predicts one day the human race will perish from the earth. Naturally, Willis dismisses the prediction. Yet, within the depths of his mind, Willis knows clues that lead to the virus's eventual creation and spread. He tries to contide this information to his psychiatrist, Kathryn Railly (Madeleine Stowe), but she doubts him. Wilis then travels'to 1996, where he sees his once hazy visions becoming the truth. There, with the aid of Stowe, he relies on a childhood memory and a series of spray painted symbols from the group known as the Army of the Twelve Monkeys, headed by Pitt, to understand where the virus came from. There seems to be a lot of information to cover in this film, and for it to be aptly illustrated, the actors have to tumble through a wealth of roadblocks to get to i AN EASY New Bulbs!

Within the depths of the lethargic I first hour of "12 Monkeys," there is 1 confusion, but also a fine acting I performance from Madeleine Stowe. Dismiss the thought that Brad Pitt H is just a pretty boy, because he is far from that, and this movie proves it. It doesn't take too much talent to act as if one is strange, but to convincingly establish the idea that one is a schizophrenic is hard. Pitt does this feat with ease and [ obvious skill. Everything from his crooked grimaces to his cockeyed glances are convincing and well executed. Finally, there's Bruce Willis. After a few years of putting in time on shows like "Moonlighting" and in movies like "Hudson Hawk," Willis seems to come into nis own. "12 Monkeys" is a well-made movie. H It will definitely appeal to those who like loose plots, suddenly connecting themes |n and Alfred Hitchock-like mystery.
