The Number 23 (2007)


The Good:
I enjoy Jim Carrey as an actor more and more with each role he plays.
The directing was nice, especially in conjunction with the very cool cinematography and excellent editing.
It was a thriller, in the traditional sense.
The plot was very neat, not entirely shocking, but good enough throughout to keep one's attention.
The stark contrasting elements in the film were well done.
The number 23 stalks the film at every corner.
Madness, obsession, and noir, great combination.

The Bad:
Well, I might be able to come up with some stuff, but I just don't feel like it.

Overall: A good movie, not a horror like I expected, but a psychological very stylized film noir. A little bit Gothika, a little bit Memento, and a slice of Pi.

I'll take the Memento and the Pi and leave the Gothika - can I do that?
