Momento meets film noir

Rating: 7/10 (27 February 2007)

This fascinating movie is definitely the kind that gets you thinking throughout and up until the last 30 minutes is very engrossing. However what started out as an atmospheric, dark and creative movie sadly ended with a very predictable and overused cliché' that left me with a feeling of anti-climax and being that the number 23 has been put under the title of "Psychological thriller" I was kinda hoping for clever piece of cinematic history which sadly wasn't the case.
Regardless of this (credit where credits due 'n' all that) the visual effects of this film are superb and has a very eerie film noir undertone to it, also I feel I should mention the very, very last scene just before the credits kick in doesn't fail to make you feel uneasy.
All in all I would give this movie 7 out of 10 because you leave the cinema with something to think about.... I can bet any money you will be looking for 23's in your daily life for a good week or so after watching this.
