Review of The Number 23 (2007) by Cheyne L — 21 Apr 2012
Wow, critics hated this one! I personally found it entertaining and it held my attention through the end .. but this is a decidedly once through kinda movie, because the entire premise is built on the suspense of what is going to happen next and once you reach the end with it's traditional twist, there's no going back .
. personally, I like films I can watch 23 times and not get tired of .. great films, even with a great twist ending, have a way of making you forget just exactly how it ends, so when you come back to it sometime later, you can watch it again and love every second .
. unfortunately, this isn't one of them .. it's quite wishy-washy and these sort of endings can go either way, brilliant twist, or blatant copout , and '23' is the latter ..
