Review of The Number 23 (2007) by Moviebuff_420 — 18 May 2012
I've watched many Movies of Jim Carrey.When he did something different than comedy in Man on the moon ,The Truman Show,Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind,These movies were so great.
When I watched the trailer of this movie. My expectations got high.
After watching the movie I was disappointed.Clearly it is a psycho-thriller movie with neo-noir style.I quite liked the visual elements and Jim Carrey did a good job.Despite of the good concept.The movie is not that good.
It has a promising start but when Walter starts to read book,slowly slowly everything goes wrong and somewhat boring.
It's plot is too thin and movie is unimpressive in many parts.
Cheesy dialogues bring it down and movie is never that creepy the way it should be.
Overall, it delivers a rambling, confusing narrative with only a few stylistic elements thrown in.it could have been much much better as for JIm Carrey.
But I liked it in parts.
