Possible Spoiler - Brain Teaser!

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2004)

I'll start off by immediately giving you the rating. 9/10. Never have I seen a movie that is filmed this well with an excellent dark/ominous script. Jake Gyllenhaal pulls off an awesome role as the lead, Donnie Darko, but also his sister (in real life as well as the film) Maggie does an excellent job. The film can be described in so many ways.(spoiler) One kid fighting inevitability through the guides in life until finally coming to the conclusion god has a preset path event if you can see it and try to avoid that by some means god's path won't change for you. there are so many fine details worked into this script that even after my third time watching the movie (one w/ commentary from the director / jake g.) that i'm still picking tid bits up that help piece this puzzle together. first of the commentary is extremely informative into the story, and jake is hilarious.
