Mind trip - Bring a full tank

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2007)

I just got out of the theatre from seeing the Number 23. This was not the movie for those who don't want to pay attention or have their minds screwed with. Although not a Memento quality mind-bend, the Number 23 well pick you up, toss you around, and set you down gently on your head. This film has several very well done noir-style almost flashback shots (when you see, you will understand). Number 23 kept me asking and questioning (and trying to see 23 in every shot) up till the last line, and then just when I though I had it figured, it threw one last curve. As a life-long Jim Carrey fan, I have to admit I love seeing him play serious. He grabs you on the first shot and doesn't let you go until the credits stop. A big mistake is to think he is going to make you laugh every time you see him. Get past that, and you will see the amazing acting talent that Jim has. It is worth the money to see Number 23.
