Yeah, that is it.

So the summary reads that the movie is about a animal controller officer who obsesses over the number 23, but the movie doesn't capture the obsession as it should have. In-fact it doesn't really capture anything. It just tells the story like any other ordinary movie. It was fine but not satisfying.

There isn't anything that stands out. Jim Carrey doesn't really work the character as he should have, nor does any other cast for that matter. The music doesn't fit. The direction and use of colors really doesn't do anything but appear to be pretentious.

A movie that should have been a mind fuck (expectation) turns out to be a bland but somewhat likable.

Probably shouldn't have, but I actually liked this.

Whilst I guessed the plot twists quite early on, I quickly disregarded them so its plot turns still came as quite a shock. It wasn't the mind-fuck it could have been and some of the numerology was quite nonsensical but if you don't think about it too much and just believe what you are told then it works as a great mystery thriller. I love Jim Carrey's serious performances so his role worked well for me, as well.

Ridiculous, nonsensical film. If it was a horse, you'd have it shot.

@ sumando todo lo que se me ocurra y asustándome porque da 23.

An essence of intrigue lasts a short while, but gives way to incoherence and a mundane ending. Much like my lovemaking.

“I don't know what happened to you, but I do know this; you're weren't a bad person who got better, you where a sick person who became well”.

For me that was the highlight in what otherwise is a interesting but at times confusing story. Carrey is brilliant but the story did for me at least feel like it was dragging along kicking and screaming which is my biggest problem. It's not the idea of the film that I have any issue with just it's execution. In fact it's an original concept for a film. The viewer is taken into the paranoid world of Walter Sparrow (Carrey) told through the eyes of the writer of the book "The Number 23".

The principal for the idea I believe is revealed in the last couple of seconds after the final acting scene were 23:32 from a certain book is revealed as it's inspiration.

Εμμονή ψύχωση και αντίστροφη ψυχολογία με ωραία ανατροπή. Jim Carrey παρόλο που σε έχω συνηθίσει ως κωμικό ηθοποιό μπορώ να πω πως ο ρόλος του τρελού σου ταίριαξε.

Chilling Thrilling and amazing. You are bound to get goosebumps. Jim carrey as always is phenomenal. A must watch

Despite low reviews from the general public, I really liked this one for some reason XD.
