Bizarre tale of a boy who encounters an irregularity in time.

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2004)

Twisted look at a boy who's imaginary friend may have answer to future events. Jake Gyllenhaal brilliantly plays a confused teenager facing hallucinations that lead him to lash out against society. The plot gets even more bizarre when a jet engine from a passenger airliner falls through the roof of the family house and no one knows where it came from. Donnie sets out to understand where his hallucinations are sending him. On the way he develops a romantic relationship with a school friend. The events of the film suggest things are leading to impending doom. Definite reminiscent of the late eighties (time the film takes place) and fully disturbing but non the less very entertaining. This film is entrancing from the get go. Scary and thoroughly unpredictable.
