Good thriller, Carrey impresses

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2008)

OK, before I begin, I realize today the was the second time I was this movie and it is January 24th. 24 - 1 = 23. Holy crap!
But seriously, on to my review. I've always been a fan of Jim Carrey ever since Ace Ventura Pet Detective came out. Ever since any project he was attached to I was be there for sure. Recently he's been doing a few dramatic roles and it's not that I'm not into comedic actors doing that, but the ones he was doing didn't quite interest me. But this one did. This movie has quite the plot to it. It keeps you intrigued until the very last frame, and somehow you know that number will keep showing up so you pay close attention (during my viewing today I had to pause to count whenever I saw a sign). The best part though is Carrey's performance. The man I grew up laughing at during movies like Dumb & Dumber and Cable Guy does very well as portraying this character who ends up being tortured by the number that shows itself every. Not once did any of his past roles come to mind. No talking out of his butt, not crazy laughs, no rubber faces. Most likely his best performance yet.
And be careful when you do watch this. Because you'll be looking everywhere for that number as well! But is it really that evil or is it all coincidence? We may never know
