Number 23

Number 23 (2007)

4 out of 5 stars.

After 10- interesting idea and camera work.  The story has me interested and I love Jim Carrey so let's see where it is going.
After 40- I am on board.  The story is a little tame, not a lot of blood and visuals, but lots to think about and it is fun watching the number 23 every where.
By The End- NICE! An interesting story that succeeds at grabbing your attention, and making you wonder what will happen next.

Adult Stuff- Cheesy One Liners, Bad Language, Booze, Drugs, Puss, Blood, Bondage, Guts, Gore, Hoochie Girls, Boobs, Sex, Vagina, Penis, Penis Trauma

After Checking IMDB- First: a 32 mill budget!  Wow, I wonder how much was to pay for Mr. Carrey?  Second, the director is Joel Schumacher.  With 32 director credits, 8 of them I have definitely seen and enjoyed.  Third, Fernley Phillips is the writer and co-producer, and this is the only credit at this time on their IMDB.

Over all the story, imagery and acting make this film worth a watch.  Pour a fresh drink, sit back, make sure the phone is off and the volume is up so you don't miss anything.  When the story slows enough for you to pause make a fresh drink and make note of the time, does it add up to 23?

Until next time everybody, remember, Protect Your Privates!

Spoilers**
* I don't want to give away anything, but if I have to spoil something Jim Carrey is a funny man.  I have enjoyed many of his funny films.  THIS IS NOT A FUNNY FILM!  I agree with the reviewers that say they are not used to seeing Jim Carrey in a non comedy role.
*Do not let your preconceived notions of Jim Carrey distract you from the story being told.
