'Of course, time is just a counting system ... numbers with meaning attached to them - isn't it?'

Rating: 7/10 (4 January 2008)

Well what to say after so many informations that we're given in only 98 minutes? I'll start with the fact that this is Joel Schumacher's 23rd project he directed (if we don't count two videos for INXS). Is that coincidence or not? Anyway, I want to tell you that I enjoyed in this movie very much. Maybe it's because I like movies like "Secret Window", "1408" and similar stuff. I just like movies were you have to think for a change. Schumacher's "The Number 23" leaves us with many questions through entire movie, except of course at the ending were everything is explained to us in simplicity that I happened to like. I liked the ending and I think that the whole movie wasn't boring like some comments said. It was unique and very good experience that is based on acting abilities of two actors: Jim Carrey and Virginia Madsen. Carrey and Madsen aren't disappointing and this is perfect movie to watch weather one actor can or cannot act. They both passed this exam in my eyes, just like director Schumacher did. Really good thriller. Nothing scary, not a masterpiece but a good movie for all of you who are not afraid to use that gray thing in your head and extract hour and half of your time.
