The Number Awful

Rating: 3/10 (30 July 2009)

A humongous steaming pile of dung, "the number 23" is a truly awful movie. It is as convoluted as it is contrived causing any astute viewer to wonder where on earth his robbed time has gone. This movie stars Jim Carrey venturing into thriller material but ending up tainting an already dumb weak-minded premise - the same premise that causes people to believe in all that they hear in horoscopes with every inch of faith. Virginia Madson who has been in some good projects in the past, has picked a true stinker to latch onto unfortunately. *spoiler* The movie starts out boring for the first 3rd starts to pick up a bit and then ventures into the absurd and finally tries to wrap it up nice and tidily for the unwitting audience. Filmmakers please edit your own awful stories before bringing to picture. Unrecommended waste of time.
