Bit Paranoid..Don't you think?

Rating: 5/10 (23 February 2008)

Okay, don't get me wrong it was a good film. I usually like anything with Jim Carrey, except Eternal Sunshine For The Spotless Mind, not a huge fan of that one. Anyway back to The Number 23. I guess they kinda over did it just a tad. I mean, they were making everything end up the number 23. If you thought that hard about it and got so paranoid you started working it out on your bedroom walls then yeah you'd probably find the same number, a lot. And yeah you would drive yourself insane. It all is kind of, well, predictable in a way. I didn't see the end coming at all. I honestly didn't think it would be him..but if you were his wife, why on EARTH would you give him a book he wrote that drove him crazy and act like you knew absolutely nothing about it while watching him slowly turn insane and say he's being paranoid. It's just common sense really. Plus why was the book in there in the first place? That guy was pretty screwed up and yet he found the time from his busy life of working out ways to torture himself with the number 23, that he just thought he'd go and sell the book to a book store so other people can go insane like him. Great idea! Sorry don't mean to sound harsh but i was expecting something a little better. I give it 5 stars out of 10.
