The screenwriting's very cleverly written and the story was equally paced to perfection - didn't find it nearly as boring as everyone else seems to have found it. Voight's dazzling as the leading man and he played off the superb supporting cast extremely well. A well crafted thriller!

Gripping adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic play - have to say studying it in English Class last year helped massively with the language barrier and understanding of the story. Watched at the Watershed.

Donnie Darko 2001
A friend of mine kept nagging me to watch this film and I put it off until today. 2 hours 13 minutes later, I may have just watched one of the best films I've ever seen.
