The Number 23

Rating: 4/10 (31 October 2015)

As an initial viewer back when The Number 23 was shown in theaters, there was a lot of anticipation that was only let down afterwards. Now after seven years, I thought I'd give The Number 23 another try since the plot escaped my head and the twist was forgotten. Unfortunately, there was no change in my feelings for this film, which is utter disappointment. There was so much potential for this film with its cool plot idea and solid cast. The plot line of everything in your life (birth date, address, social security, driver's id, etc.Â…) all adding up to the number 23 is an interesting concept. However, a non-interesting side story between pseudo-characters in a book with all around hideous acting and writing really shot down any possibilities this film had. The film did have the properties to make a great horror thrill but instead I found myself laughing at the ridiculousness of The Number 23.
