Too late. Chose that one. Mind you I didn't start watching it till 1.30am so I wasn't up for a 'mind' film which is how Donnie Darko seems to be regarded.
It wasn't that bad, imho, just a case of going through the motions.
Samuel Jackson doing his black 'everyman' on the edge (again) and Ben Affleck doing his most engaging work to date (which given the utter pap of everything else he's done isn't really claming much).
One of the other options I was considering getting out was 'The Sum of All Fears', which is Affleck paired up with Morgan Freeman who is another black actor seemingly content to stroll along the rut of the same role over and over (wise and stately).
Dunno why, but I expect that kind of crap from young pin-ups like Affleck. I just thought that more mature actors like Freeman and Jackson would be unsatisfied with going through the motions and following the money.
Seems to be nothing really engaging coming out of even the more obscure corners of western (read: US) cinema atm.
But then, my core tastes have always been decidely more European cinematically speaking.
