Idiotic

Rating: 1/10 (27 December 2012)

A camp, idiotically written, mystery-thriller.
A man tries to piece together clues of a novel that strangely reflects his life. What follows in the film is a stupid, unimaginative mystery, that tries to slowly unwrap before leading up to a devastatingly awful conclusion, and the mildly horrific concept of the hidden number twenty-three, in wherever you should find it. A perversely idiotic take on the actual power of mathematics, with magic number patterns.
The film tries to have some stylish film noir undertones, in parts playing with colours and shadows. The music is unmemorable except for a terrifically hilarious saxophone number.
Jim Carrey is uncharacteristically stilted, given his success just prior with Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. All the other performances are not worth remembering.
You could watch this movie and dismiss it as rubbish, or not watch it at all and dismiss it as rubbish. It will save time.
