Where has this movie been all my life???

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2002)

I happened to stumble over this movie. Well, not stumbled, but more being hit by a freight train going 300 miles per hour. This movie was an emotional thrill ride from the start. It was a combination of exceptional acting and ironic circumstances that made this movie so great to watch. In addition, the way in which everything is tied together like a neat package in the end will make you want to rewind this a few times. I was left, literally, with my jaw wide open at the end as I felt like I was being played with the whole time. It all came together like you'd never thought possible. The moral behind the movie is also one that is very usable in real life. That's why I connected with this movie so well. If you're really in the mood for a shoot-em-up thriller... this is NOT the movie for you. However, with the absence of guns and the such, this movie will still knock your socks off. It's surprising I didn't see any advertisements for this movie when it came out. Anyway, make sure the lights are off and the volume is max if you really want to experience Donnie Darko...
