Twisted, DARK, and very good.

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 2002)

I had no idea what this movie was about before watching it, had only heard it recommended, and was plesantly surprised. And it isn't without some flaws, but it's a pretty good film.
Jake Gyllenhaal is really good in this, bringing to life such a disturbed character. And, by the way, how can you not be totally creeped out by that freaky bunny that looks so much like a bug??? The rest of the acting is all pretty good, even from the people you so wouldn't expect it from, like Patrick Swayze and Drew Barrymore. The story's good also, it has some kinks that probably could've been worked out (like most of the ending which becomes kind of goofy until you realize what's going on, and then you're just like "oh." nothing big), but for the most part it works. The directing and overall execution is very well done too.
In conclusion, Donnie Darko is not a film for every, that's the kind of good it is. Great acting, good story, very good execution. Would recommend. 3 out of 5 stars. EDIT AFTER SEVERAL VIEWINGS: 5 out of 5 stars.
