Weird, but watchable

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2003)

It's difficult to say what this film is actually about - but that doesn't really matter because I'm guessing that 6 different people will walk out of the theatre with 6 different opinions anyway and, besides, the story being told comes second to the way that it's told.
There's much to recommend in Donnie Darko - great cinematography, direction, acting, humour, wonderful scripting and a fantastic soundtrack.
If I had to pick my favourite scene, I guess it would be where Patrick Swayze is arrested. Kudos to the man - how many Hollywood "stars" would agree to play that part??
