12 Monkeys
Overview
Time travel, mental wards, and Brad Pitt at his most feral. Bruce Willis plays a convict sent back in time to trace a world-ending virus, except he keeps arriving in the wrong decade and getting institutionalized. Gilliam directs like a fever dream — grimy, paranoid, beautiful. Pitt's twitchy performance announced a real actor underneath the heartthrob. The ending reframes everything and it'll itch your brain for days. Sci-fi for anyone who enjoys a painful paradox.
