Its with some skepticism that we greet 20 more minutes of 2001s Darko in the dreaded directors cut format. What we know: the troubled teen protagonist (Jake Gyllenhaal) sleepwalks, which helps him avoid getting pulverized by a detached jet engine that crashes into his room; but outside, he encounters a hideous six-foot rabbit who tells him that the world will end 28 days later. This new Darko adds some take-em-or-leave-em family bonding scenes, but rookie writer/director Richard Kelly does succeed by intermittently displaying text from Sparrows The Philosophy of Time Travel, which illuminates identities and motivations without spelling everything out too literally.
