An interesting movie which should have gotten a great deal more credit

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2007)

I truly believe some of these comments are purely just to insult the movie. Were you not watching the movie? There are no plot holes, the only thing which they slipped up on was the facts at the beginning but your average audience wouldn't know that. What will Carrey have to do to gain a bit of respect? The man is a comical genius, yes, but surely he has proved himself by this point that he is actually a talented, very versatile actor? I didn't care for the Truman Show but he simply gave a flawless performance and this can not be denied! Neither can it be denied that he did a good job in Eternal Sunshine For Spotless Mind or whatever it was called. Carrey is good in this. Critics and certain stiffs seem to be fixated on the idea that he simply is not allowed to do things outside of comedy but he is actually very good at it.
This movie is actually much more intellectually stimulating than appears. The fact of the matter is that it is not a horror movie as the posters make it seem, it is a Physicological thriller and I would even stress to say it is a drama. It has several levels ( by the way people saying its a stupid plot, get your facts straight, the theory of the number 23 has been worked on before- it could be argued that people could have been drawn to insanity from it.
To sum up- this is definitely worth a watch. Its smart, the acting is good, and some of the direction is actually quite beautiful as is the cinematography. The script is possibly the weakest link of the movie but is held up with good deliverance by the actors.
Watch it people!
