Donnie Darko Is Just Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2005)

OK, the first thing that is unknown to someone who hasn't saw Donnie Darko is what the hell is it about! Well its not a horror, which is what I thought it was, but in fact its about time travel! As someone who is only 16 its refreshing to watch a film such as this, and wanting to watch it straight again! The film contains superb acting from all of the actors and includes an all star cast! The soundtrack is just awesome, with such music from Gary Jules, Duran Duran, Tears For Fears and a chilling score from Michael Andrews! I admit the first time I watched it i had no clue what it was about or whether it was any good, but trust the second time round of watching it, gives you an answer to your all your doubts about the film. Now I suggest you watch the theatrical version of the film before watching the directors cut , both are excellent but the theatrical is just that bit better, and has now become a cult classic (yeah)! Richard Kelly directed and wrote the film, which is his first debut as a director, after watching Donnie Darko you'll be keen in seeing future films from him!Don't listen to anyone whos says its crap, jus watch it yourself and it will surprise you! This is up there with my favourite films, and if you like this i recommend The Butterfly Effect. Reviewed by alexboy-4
