The listing, 12 Monkeys/Mercury Rising/The Jackal (DVD, 2008, 3-Disc Set) has ended.
12 MONKEYS: When a man enters a hospital claiming to have journeyed back in time from the year 2025 to stop a killer virus from exterminating mankind, a beautiful psychologist decides he might be more than delusional. Terry Gilliam populates this labyrinthine, apocalyptic film with twisted characters and eerie revelations. The film was shot primarily in Philadelphia; Gilliam uses the more dilapidated area of the city to the film's apocalyptic advantage. The film is based on the 1962 French short film LA JETEE. MERCURY RISING: FBI agent Art Jeffries (Bruce Willis), wrongfully disgraced after taking the fall for a botched undercover job, defends a ten-year-old autistic boy from a national security agent (Alec Baldwin) who orders the boy assassinated after he innocently cracks the purportedly uncrackable "Mercury" code.THE JACKAL: An update of THE DAY OF THE JACKAL, this spy thriller offers a seasoned FBI man, a rigid Russian agent, and a black-sheep I.R.A. terrorist teaming up to stop a nasty and extremely well-paid assassin from offing a U.S. official. A winning thriller from director Michael Caton-Jones.
