Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2007)

The Number 23
The Number 23 is a thrilling roller coaster ride that will have you on the edge of your seat during every minute. The story revolves around Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey), an ordinary family man who starts to get involved in a novel that his wife, Agatha (Virginia Madsen) bought him for his birthday. As Walter reads the novel, he realizes that the books retells his childhood and specific details about his life and starts to question it. Now Walter is on a mission to find out the truth behind the book and the number 23 which he has connected to many facts about his life.
Jim Carrey does a fantastic job in this movie and it shows an emotional side to him that we could never see in his comedy movies. I was contemplating if I could take him seriously and this movie makes me believe that he can pull off any movie he wants. Also, the little tidbits hidden through out the movie are great examples of foreshadowing.
So hold on to your seats and enjoy this thrilling, fantastic movie. It's definitely worth seeing and I can vouch for that.
