This is the Director's Cut Review

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2007)

Troubled adolescent, Donnie Darko, receives a disturbing vision that the world will end in 28 days. With the help of various characters, including a 6 foot rabbit called Frank, he slowly discovers the mysterious physical and metaphysical laws that govern his life and that will lead up to the destruction of the universe.
I have just finished watching the director's cut of this film, never have seen the original (finally!). I have to say this movie makes you think a lot, like Mulholland Drive. It turns out something more than you expect the plot to be, which is why I liked the movie.
This film is also confusing and needed some help for some explaining that I didn't get in the film. Now I finally get this whole movie and thought it was clever but not as much as you follow on with the movie, which is why I'm not giving this a perfect rating.
This film is dark, disturbing, and sometimes shocking like Mulholland Drive and The Butterfly Effect, a similar movie to Donnie Darko. The acting by Jake Gyllenhaal is really good with this weird role.
There might be a time where you watch the movie, think about it, and you've thought of a plot hole. There could be a plot hole in the movie but some people may think it isn't. If you like movies that make you think, turns out to be really clever, watch Donnie Darko.
