Thumbs up - a good-see look-see

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2002)

Excellent movie good for one see but it is probably not one that someone would want to watch over and over again. Spectacular acting by Jake Gyllenhaal as Donnie Darko. The plot is very unbalanced and confusing but can be unravelled with a little thinking (there are some parts however that make absolutely no sense... Actually a lot of parts. This film would've been much better by making a few changes ie. Erasing Duran Duran audio playback in live film action, hyper filmaphotography (This isn't suppose to be like snatch), and of course getting rid of all the nonsensicle scenes that have no effect on the plot course or whatsoever. 8/10 Thumbs up for a look-see. If your lovers of 12 monkeys or Dark City this movie is one in that genre. Watch out for Frank!!! HE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE DEADLY RABBIT FROM HOLY GRAIL!!!
