One For The Ages

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2008)

I ended up renting Donnie Darko about a year ago, seeing it at the store. I had heard of it before, and just blindly decided to rent it after seeing the cover. Once the movie began and all the way till after it finished, I knew it was definitely something special.
From the 6-ft bunny rabbit, to Jake Gyllenhaal's spell-binding performance, to the freaky plot and thrilling, intertwining story, to Richard Kelly's imagery and imagination, this is personally one of the greatest movies of all time, a massive achievement in film of the 21st century. For movies like Pirates of the Caribbean and Spider-Man to rip up the box office and have such great success, with independent flicks like Donnie Darko to be pushed aside is unbelievable and horrible to see.
Although dark, psychologically trancing, mind-fillingly creative, Donnie Darko has made a major impact on the many who have watched it. A classic cult-hit teen movie. If you watch it, you will have to watch it again. An addicting, awe-inspiring tale of unparalleled psychological thrilling.
