KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

tiskec I think that most people will find this movie very interesting. Jim Carey really puts on a really good performance in this particular film, seeing how he rarely ever does anything except comedy or drama. He pulled off the part as a typical husband and father pretty well. Wait, or was that what he was? This movie is a huge twister.All these stories are twisted up into one plot. They're all about the same man, and they all come from this book, written by some guy that used the alias "Topsey Crets." Laaaaammme. In this novel, Jim Carey's character becomes more and more obsessed with the number 23. He starts to see it everywhere and in everything. It slowly drives him into insanity. The movie has really good all around acting and will sit good as a descent horror/mystery film. It gets predictable at the end, but Jim Carey becomes bad-ass in this movie. It really bring out the nut job in him, and he fits it well. This movie will blow your mind. You haven't seen obsession until you've seen this movie.

Chase Diedrich The Number 23 is a well-paced, cunning thriller that has you on the edge of your seat almost the entire time. With great performances by Jim Carrey and Virgonia Madsen, the story of Walter Sparrow, a local animal control officer, turns dark when he is bitten by a dog, making him late to pick up his wife, Agatha, in front of a used book store. Tired of waiting, she decides to go inside. She finds a book titled "The Number 23: A Novel of Obsession," written by a mysterious man that goes by the name of Topsy Kretts. After skimming through the book, she decides to buy it for Walter as a birthday gift. Walter, hoping it is a fun read, finds the sinister twists it has to offer, while implanting the number 23 in his head. He starts obsessing over the number, trying his relationship with Agatha, and pushing on his mental stability. This movie is geniusly created, showing close to no signs of 23 in the beginning, and toward the end, every small corner you may turn to, there is a new 23 just waiting to happen. From colors to the alphabet to dialogue, 23 is shown in every place it can.

idanvinter123 One of the best movies of 2007, one of my favorite films ever and certainly one of the best drama movies ever.Don't trust RT or even IMDb to tell you about this movie. This movie gave me goosebumps and I almost cried in the end. This movie is the perfect proof Jim Carry can be dramatic.Terrific tension, amazing acting by every single person featured in this movie, excellent production, perfect directing, outstanding performance by Jim Carry, fantastic story and an astonishing plot twist.I saw yesterday Yes Man for the second time, so it was so different watching Jim Carry acting so dramatic when you're used to watch his comedy films.I am definitely gonna watch this movie again. This is a no brainier. I suggest you watch a comedy film with Jim Carry in it, and the next day watch this one. You'll be blown away by his terrific acting in a dramatic role.

Python Hyena Number 23 (2007): Dir: Joel Schumacher / Cast: Jim Carrey, Virginia Madsen, Logan Lerman, Rhona Mitra, Danny Huston: Psychological thriller about the search for traumatic beginnings. Jim Carrey and Virginia Madsen play a married couple as well as characters inhabiting a book called Number 23 for which she gives him on his birthday. Now everything he encounters seems to relate somehow to the number 23 to the point where he feels controlled. Directed by Joel Schumacher who previously directed Carrey in Batman Forever where he played the Riddler. Here he must also solve a riddle of sorts. This is a very different role for Carrey whose birthday gift turns into an obsession to solve a murder to the point where he feels that he is becoming a danger to his own family. Madsen does well as his wife whom attempts to help him solve his dilemma only to have secrets surface. She will put herself in harm's way for the sake of her husband and his declining mental state. Logan Lerman plays their son whom also assists in solving the case and becomes an inspiration for life. Rhona Mitra plays a college student who was murdered after having sexual relations with her professor. Danny Huston is also cast as Isaac French and Dr. Miles Phoenix but the role is standard. It is her dismiss that needs solving. It creates an intriguing portrait of the Biblical scripture that sights sin finding you out. Score: 8 ½ / 10
