A great, refreshing and original film.

Rating: Null/10 (21 December 2003)

Its hard to write a review about Donnie Darko because there are to many great issues about it: sanity/insanity, happiness/loneliness and the most important one life/death. Some reasons why i like this film: 1) It treats the audience with respect. 2) It makes us think. 3) Its not an all out, guns blazing end of the world disaster film. 4) It is a very cleaver teenage film.
For the normal viewer its another drama film, but for the other viewer it travels deep into all the characters minds especially Donnie; is he really insane? is the world really going to end? is the bunny rabbit his only friend? At times this is disturbing viewing: Donnie has visions, sleepwalks and becomes obsessed with time travel. Patrick Swayze is also good as a high powered speaker. This film asks a lot of questions but the most important: Can we control our own fate? After viewing this picture questions will be asked!
