Review: The Number 23
People usually don’t line up for a serious Jim Carrey movie, but for once, they were right. Then there’s the film noir aspect of this movie (while actually still filmed in color), which I usually don’t like either.
As a thriller, it’s all just too far-fetched to even entertain the remote possibilities of what’s going on, plus the whole continuous reliance on the nightmare effect is a putdown again. The more reality bound ending makes up for just a bit for that, but overall, it’s slightly leaning to being boring.6-.
