CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY all the way….. Wait a sec, I’m not crazy but this movie might make you one :-) its such a layered, complicated story. One might have to watch this movie multiple times to grasp every little detail and if you blink you will miss something. A movie which has two Hollywood greats Bruce Willis & Brad Pitt - can’t go wrong.
“The story goes from present to past but its future to past and present to us the viewer but not for the lead character James Cole played by Bruce Willis ” :-) Now to understand this sentence is same as understanding the movie, you will eventually. The movie was released in 1995. I first watched it many years ago; saw it again today and it still surprises me. Bruce Willis plays a different kind of hero who is vulnerable and tough at the same time, he has given a kick ass performance.
Brad Pitt – now what can I say about him, whatever character he chooses to play this guy makes it look COOOOOOOOL. He plays a loony character and it can’t get any loonier than this. One of his best performances ever and he was nominated for an academy award in the best supporting actor category.
One gripe about the movie is that I found it a bit too long. For a movie were the world is at danger and Billions of people dying I missed a sense of urgency in the later half of the movie. But its one of those movies which will Psych you out. Dunno if everybody will like it because the viewer really has to concentrate as it’s not a simple story.
Cheers
