The number 23 is an AMAZING movie, with one hell of a plot twist! Jim carry really shows us what kind of actor he is. He is a man with alot of faces, and boy do you see it in this movie.

The movie is an almost never ending exciment, the only thing that I thing is a bit dull, is probably the start. But thats just my opinion, I wont say any spoilers though.

The movie plot isnt a plot where you have to guess what "actually" happend, it gives it pretty much straight forward. But there is some minor plot points that the movie doesnt explain, which is nice for people who love to speculate!

9/10, great movie, great acting, great storytelling!… Expand

He is an amazing actor, that immerses himself in his roles, including this one. The movie is about obsession, which is a disease that people really suffer from, makes them live painfully, confused and frightened. The movie was interesting, tortuous, with plot twist, that will make you give high score to it.… Expand

Wow. This is a strange, creepy horror film that steadily ramps up the fear as the plot chugs along.

This is a strange, creepy horror film that steadily ramps up the fear as the plot chugs along. There are a few spots when it's a little tough to keep your disbelief out of the way, but you'll enjoy this film more if you just let go and have fun with it. It made me want to get books about strange math and science phenomena. Also, the cast did well. Jim Carrey's character starts out as a seemingly normal person, whose life gets increasingly caught up in a trap of obsession with the title number. Try to watch this film and not start counting stuff afterwards! :)… Expand

This is the number which always pops-out when I wanted to pick a number. During watching team sports I always watch-out for who's wearing a jersey with this number. So the number 23 is everything to me and watched this movie 7 years ago (today, 2014) with high expectations which stood up to my belief. Here I am after a re-watch.

You know mystery movie are not meant to watch again and again, because you won't get that real twist when you re-watch. That is a big drawback in this particular genre. All we need is to give a good concentration while we watch for the first time and must not miss a single dialogues. But in my case I saw it a long ago, now I didn't remember much of the movie scene except the storyline. So I had a little advantage over that to view it again and I am glad this movie impressed me in the second time as well.

You won't see much of Jim Carrey in a serious role. This is one of those where he's out of his league, the comedies. I thought it was a dark comedy, at least it kick started sounding like that way. But after progressing with good story development it turned so ridiculously deep into a main character who was obsessed with the number 23. It began with a simple misunderstanding over a something, but later digs intellectually with more broader expansion towards a parallel story that was written in a red book.

It is a great movie, which stays true to its genre and makes audience to begin their guessing game soon the red book enters into the frames. It also had a wonderful twist with the meaningful dialogues at the end. It is a must see movie from the perspective of the Jim Carrey's filmography. One of the movies of him to remember his appearance in a divergent character than usual. Hope I gonna see it again after some years from now on and expect to remain same warmth, maintaining everlasting strength from its main plot to deliver me.… Expand

A great psychological thriller that is done well with Jim Carrey and all of the critics that has been saying that this movie sucks, they suck.

Obsession is a disease, a dark fleeting sensation that can drive one person to do things that they normally would not do, driving the individual to the brink of insanity that can destroy the personâ
