A dark but intreging movie.

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2006)

Donnie Darko, a highly intelligent but troubled teenager is trying to cope with possibly intermittent episodes of schizophrenia, or are these dilutions and "Frank the rabbit" projections from the future?
Donnie has been troubled with emotional problems for years for which he takes medication for and sees Physcologist. His problems get worst went a stray aircraft engine falls from the sky and demolishes his bed room, he is only saved because he had slept walked that night to the near by golf course and returns home that morning to see the results of this incidence. After being told in Donnie's second reality by Frank, the rabbit masked person, the world will end in 28 days Donnie's next four weeks find him grappling with depressive thoughts, destructive feelings and the concept of time travel. A new girl to his English class adds romance to the story adding another dimension to her place in the time continuum.
Well thought-out story line and occasional black humour make this movie very entertaining, an emotional roller coaster to say the least, definitely worth watching.
