a nihilistic movie

Rating: 9/10 (10 October 2010)

darko is not a troubled teenager,but someone who sees things for what they are,which leads people to believe that hes crazy. donnie darko is an experience,it makes you think about life and death. the best thing about this movie is it left me confused,making me want to speculate,thats the kinda movie i always wanted to see. jake gyllenhaal's performance is amazing,not the best i've seen but better than i expected,and the rest of the cast does a great job.the only flaw i thought it had was the performances of some of the supporting actors.other than that its a well directed,well written and a well acted movie. it was scary,weird and thought provoking.and the soundtrack really sets the mood,'mad world' by gary rules is the perfect theme song for the movie. donnie darko is not for everyone,but if you're into sci fi movies that contain more than just science,then donnie darko is for you. rating 9/10.
