The Number 23 on DVD (2007)

Okayish

Not so Silent Bob from Edinburgh [Highly rated reviewer] , 27/09/2007

Carey is a good lead, although there is the odd gurn he is strong in places. The whole theory of the film does not stand up to scrutiny but overall good mindless fun.

Laughably bad

Nick Barber from Bradford , 12/06/2007

Dull, poorly written & badly acted.

I saw it at the cinema and lasted about 3/4's of an hour before leaving and feeling ripped off by the ticket price.

I like Jim Carrey in his usual comedic role but I couldn't take him seriously in this this film, it is garbage.

schumachers latest clunks its way onto way onto the screen

GreenwichPaul [Highly rated reviewer] , 25/08/2007

The occurrence of the number 23 is indeed odd and people like underground writer William Buroughs used to have a fine time getting it into their art. After you have heard about 23 you will see it cropping up on adverts, in films etc.... spooky, eh?

I hoped that this film would throw some interesting ideas into the conspiracy theory cooking pot or at least look interesting ,like Aranofsky's obsessive début 'pi' did. But, what this film offers us are some laughable clichés, plenty of hollow flash and no substance. The use of the number 23 in this film is merely a device to disguise the tiredness of a plot that borrows heavily from an 80's horror movie (which I won't name for fear of giving the plot away.)

There's lot of thundering sound effects and overblown stylisation, but it becomes hard to stifle the yawns before this latest Joel Schumacher clunker reaches its conclusion

Kathyrut [Highly rated reviewer] , 13/11/2007

Kept expecting Jim Carey to say or do something really stupid like he has in other funny films of his,it was ok but again not one of his good films,being un funny is not the Jim Carey i know & love.Bit of a twist in there which i like,could of done abit more to keep us on the edge of our seats.

Disappointing!

A customer from London , 03/11/2007

Thought the trailer looked good, but this is a disappointing film which doesn't live up to its potential. The final 30 mins is essentially an explanation and, in my opinion, if you have to explain the plot/ twist to your audience, then you failed! A good idea, but badly executed.
