twisted and very interesting

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2004)

My friends made me watch this film, they even bought it for me because they said it was amazing and after watching i felt slightly put out.
It was only yesterday when i was sorting out my DVD collection i decided to watch it one last time before i threw it out and i was glad i did! The film is amazing and really deserves a high rating. The way it is written keeps your mind on edge and crystal clear because you want to know what happpens next and then after that. The only down-side i can see is that it is the sort of film you have to think about to get your head around it. That moves me onto my next point, Donnie Darko is not some Bridget Jones Diary film where you can sit back and enjoy it without using your brain too much, you have to keep attentive. That is why i can see some people don't like it because it isn't a straight forward a-z story that most people like. The different mixture of characters, from the well known (drew) to the not so well known (jake). They all produce a happy medium which makes the story more understandable and more interesting. Some might notice a familiar face from ER (noah) and i think this might be one of his first movies. He is very good in his role as the science teacher and is certainly an actor to look out for, i think so anyways. The main actor(jake/donnie darko)is amazing and works with all the situations he is faced with well, working well also with the other actors and making a firm setting for which people can enjoy.
