Two Line Reviews - #246

Movie: The Number 23 (2007)


Plot: A man is gifted a book on his birthday by his wife. When he starts reading it , he finds striking similarities with the main character in the book. Trouble begins as he gets obsessed with the book and the number '23' idolised in the book. He chases down what the book tries to convey and ends up getting the shock of his life!


Highlights:
  • This thriller film is quite different from the lot and though it has its share of boring scenes, the end effect of the viewing was positive
  • Jim Carrey plays another unconventional role here and shows commendable difference between the two roles he plays
  • The facts, figures and the number games with '23' were interesting & when i added up my birthday digits it surprisingly gave a '23' too
  • The climax makes up for all the goofs in the middle
Wasn't scary or spooky but it sure was interesting
