Disturbingly try hard attempt to be different

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2003)

Donnie darko is a good film, but to be able to fit a genre to it is beyond belief. The film tries hard to break every barrier, that it ends up a confusing pile of nonesense.
The film did have promise and i found parts were very clever and well thought out, but other parts made me cringe at how obvious it was and how rushed some scenes were.
