It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Walter Sparrow becomes obsessed with a novel that he believes was written about him. As his obsession increases, more and more similarities seem to arise. Jim Carrey's perfomance in 'The Number 23' is unlike anything we've seen him before and that i truly respect it i honestly do cause no actor can do comedy forever and Carrey proved some pretty good dramatic skills with this picture. Unfortunately for him the script was a mess and went from this to that so many times that became confusing plus way too slow and the twist? kinda meh. (5/10)

The movie was phenomenal!! It makes you think deep about the meaning and context about the number "23". The movie talks about how the number is the devil's "666" number in disguise and is associated with almost every tragedy that occurred in the world. Jim Carrey does a stellar job and would highly recommend the everyone 10/10

The trouble with many actors that do only a particular type of film, is that once they go outside of their box, it's just too weird. This is true to Jim Carrey. We've become so accustomed to his comedy flicks that this throws us off guard. I kept waiting for him to crack jokes, but they never came. This is a true drama/thriller that keeps you guessing until the end.Carrey plays a man who starts reading a book that more and more sound like it was written just for him. Then strange occurrences of the number 23 keep popping up and the story gets weirder and weirder. But trust me, stick with it--the twist is a jaw dropper. I thought overall it was a great movie.

The movie had my attention the entire time. Probably because I'm always noticing patterns with numbers throughout my day. Robert Alton Wilson said, "When you start looking for something you tend to find it." That is exactly what happened to Walter Sparrow in this movie. The movie was an extreme case of obsession, which could cause great fear and panorama.The movie had a great plot and twist that kept me guessing up until 2/3rds of the movie. 2/3rd...23. This post is at 10:31pm 2 ones and a 3. On 1/12/2017 = 1-1 = 0 2/2017 = 2+0+1=3The obsession can go as far as I want it to go and the movie displays this kind of behavior throughout the entire movie.
