12 Monkeys / Mercury Rising / The Jackal (Three-Pack)
Description
12 Monkeys: In this sci-fi masterpiece, Cole (Brue Willis) is sent back in time to save the human race from a deadly virus. Along his travels, he encounters a psychiatrist (Madeleine Stow) and a mental patient, brilliantly portrayed by Brad Pitt, who may hold the key to the mysterious Army of the 12 Monkeys, thought to be responsible for unleashing the killer disease. Believing he can obtain a pure virus sample in order to find a cure in the future, he is met with one riddle after another that puts him in a race for time. Mercury Rising: Simon is a nine-year-old autistic boy who has cracked the government's new "unbreakable" code. This skill renders the new billion-dollar secret code vulnerable, especially if enemies of the United States should learn of Simon's abilities and capture him. Program chief Nick Kudrow (Alec Baldwin) orders the "security threat" eliminated, but Kudrow hasn't counted on renegade FBI agent Art Jeffries (Bruce Willis) getting involved. As they are trailed by deadly assassins, Jeffries quickly realizes that no one can be trusted. Now time is running out, and he discovers his only hope for survival is using Simon's special ability to bring their adversaries to justice. The Jackal: Bruce Willis is a ruthless assassin, known only as the Jackal, who has been hired to eliminate someone at the very top of the U.S. government. In order to track down this coldblooded killer and prevent the hit, the FBI's Deputy Director (Sidney Poitier) and a Russian intelligence officer (Diane Venora) enlist the aid of an imprisoned Irish terrorist (Richard Gere). These unlikely allies enter a global race against the clock to stop the mysterious mercenary before he can complete his deadly assignment.Bonus Content:Disc 1 - 12 Monkeys:Feature Commentary wtih Director Terry Gilliam & Producer Charles RovenThe Hamster Factor and Other Tales of 12 Monkeys (The Making of 12 Monkeys)Trailer12 Monkeys ArchivesProduction NotesDisc 2 - Mercury Rising:Feature Commentary with Director Harold BeckerWatch the Mercury RisingDeleted ScenesProduction NotesCast and FilmmakersTrailerDisc 3 - The Jackal:The Making of The JackalFeature Commentary with Director Michael Caton-JonesProduction NotesCast and FilmmakersTrailer]]>

"12 Monkeys" - 2.5 stars, "Mercury Rising" - 5 stars, "Jackal" - 4.5 stars
The reason that I gave this 3 pack movie 4 stars is due to "12 Monkeys." I've tried to watch it but it is too far out there for me. It's a sci-fi flic and I'm not really into that. I think that they should have included a different movie that was more compatible with "Mercury Rising" and "Jackal." The main reason why I bought this was because of "Mercury Rising." If you haven't seen this movie, then I suggest that you please do so. Filled with realistic action, drama and suspense. It's one of my favorites of all times. Definitely 5 stars. I saw "Jackal" several years ago and haven't watched it yet but I do remember that it was a very good movie and one that I wanted to add to my collection.

Three-for-one value, definitely not chick flicks
Bruce Willis fans know him best from the Die Hard series. In this set, Mercury Rising is the closest match. The Jackal doesn't feature Bruce Willis nearly the same percentage of screen time but still is a cool movie for guys. The 12 Monkeys flick not only features B.W. but also includes plot twists and mysteries that would make it an innovative must-see movie even with a different star.All three movies should be watched once by anyone who likes guy movies. Bruce Willis fans will want to watch more than once. Getting three for the price of one makes this purchase a no-brainer.

I like Bruce Willis (as long as he doesn't get Political)
I don't understand how to review this. The movie, OK , I like Bruce Willis (as long as he doesn't get Political). The DVD itself, I won't know until I watch it (right now it's on my DVD shelf). If I were to watch it and the DVD itself is fine, that is no guarantee that ALL of the other DVDs that people may buy will be OK. Just like the majority of reviews, some say it is great and some hate it.

Fantastic!!! All Three
I love SciFi movies and "12 Monkeys" is Great!! I have watched it over and over again. Bruce and Madeleine, Brad and all the others were Great! The "Mercury Rising" is a Great unusually intense plot! The little boy Simon character must be really gifted or he is autistic in reality! I loved Bruce, hated Alec(Great Acting) and loved the young Lady(name?) who took care of Simon. "The Jackal" was Thrilling and Bruce plays a terrific Bad, Cold Blooded Assassin! Richard and Sidney were exellent in character but the two Ladies Russian Major character and lady that played the former Irish RA character were Fantastic.

sound was not good
Two of the three movies played well although we had to put the sound up to 100 which is all the way up to be able to hear it. And that was The Jackal and Mercury Rising... 12 Monkeys we could not watch as the movie kept starting and stopping every few seconds and was way too annoying.
