Cult Classic

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2004)

Donnie Darko holds its own as not only a great movie, but a cult classic. The movie has a stellar cast that propels us into this engaging piece of art. The plot is very original and the movies atmosphere, pacing and soundtrack work great with each other. Even though this movie was put to shame at the box office, it should be seen by everyone and should receive a lot more credit. There is no doubt that this movie is weird. It is very confusing and its definitely not for everyone. But the people that it is for love it for what it is. Featuring great performances by Jake Gyllenhall, his sister Maggie, Patrick Swayze, Drew Berrymore and a man in a rabbit suit named Frank, this is one movie you really shouldn't miss. Worth the rental and in my opinion the purchase. I hear its being rereleased in theaters soon, if you haven't seen it yet..see it then.
