Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (30 May 2012)

Let me start by saying that i am a HUGE Jim Carrey fan! I believe that he is one of the best comedians of the last twenty years and is also a highly underrated dramatic actor.
I have seen almost every Carrey film and have enjoyed them all, (yes, I even liked The Cable Guy) until now... Everything about this movie is lame: the premise, I mean a guy obsessed with a number? Carrey's acting is lethargic and the secondary cast are poor and uninteresting.
Let's start with the premise; a man obsessed with the number 23, okay, I'm all for original plots, but the writer made little effort to make the phenomena believable. Even the twist in act three was predictable and clichÃ©.
The characters are underdeveloped and uninteresting and there is little shock value in this movie (I understand that psychological thrillers do not rely heavily on jumpy moments, but I was expecting some).
May I say that I desperately wanted to enjoy this flick as I am a massive fan of both Jim Carrey and psychological thrillers, but I must say that I'm disappointed with this movie.
