It’s a pretty bizarre flick when the most stable character is a six-foot-tall freaky rabbit that puts criminal thoughts into the head of a teenager. The story follows a strange series of events in the life of Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal), a psychologically distressed boy dealing with authority issues at home and at school, love, [...]
