Rather disappointing..

Rating: 5/10 (2 April 2007)

This movie is about a man who finds a book whose content seems to eerily mirror his life. He becomes obsessed with the book which centers on the weird ways in which the number 23 is integrated into the life of the main character in the book and this obsession turns his life upside down.Honestly, this movie kind of sucks, probably because I had pretty high expectations of the movie and was expected to be totally blown away but was not. The plot seems so exciting but somehow it fails to entice me in the show as I feel that the show did not succeed in actually showing how 23 destroys a person's life. I mean OK, so it keeps occurring everywhere but so what? It's irritating but it can just be ignored. So what if the woman has 23 pairs of shoes? Was she wearing a pair of shoes and if she did, did he even count the one she was wearing? I do not understand why 23 is a curse. All the examples shown seem to be more like pure coincidences. OK maybe I'm just missing something important here. Well, anybody cares to explain? Anyway, there are certain scenes which I found rather exciting and gripping and to be fair, the performance by the actors is pretty convincing and good.
