Creepy.....but Good

Spoilers Herein.

Going into this movie, I really had no idea about the plot or any elements of the movie at all. So, you can imagine my shock when a six-foot-tall rabbit starts to give him directions to destroy parts of Middlesex. Speaking of the rabbit, he was much more creepy than many characters in horror movies. The whole aura about him was just plain spooky.
The plot of this movie unfolds in an interesting manner. There are some weird portions where you go back in time. And the whole ending maybe confusing to some people. But basically this kid, Donnie Darko, has a near death experience, and now this rabbit goes around telling him what to do. He obeys the rabbit because the rabbit saved his life by drawing him away from his house before a jet engine fell through his roof.
The acting in the movie is fairly well done. They all do a good job of portraying their characters. Even Patrick Swayze, who I normally having an undying hatred for, does a sufficient job in this movie. The direction of the movie is good as well, as the movie follows a good enough pace to keep the viewer intrigued, while not throwing the entire plot at you at one time. The score of the movie is also appropriate for the movie. It enhances the general feeling of suspense and wonder of what might be the outcome of the situation.
This is a very good movie. While it may not be for everyone, I would recommend it to most. Even if you are not satisfied with the beginning, I would suggest waiting to the end, as the ending is very good.
