As Walter's/Fingerling's paranoia grows, the viewer is irritatingly yanked back and forth between the real and imagined settings, and left to decide which one is more ridiculous.

Pretty much every important date in history...can be teased to fit the pattern. What can't be hammered out of this fixation, apparently, is a coherent movie.

Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times. Charles Manson was born Nov. 12 (11 + 12 = 23). The Mayans believed the world would end on Dec. 23, 2012 (20 + 1 + 2 = 23). My brother stole my pogo stick when I was 23 and broke it into 23 pieces.

As far as psychological thrillers go, The Number 23 is a little too much 'psycho' and not enough 'logical'.

For all its gimmicky numerology, The Number 23 just doesn't add up.

It just adds up to sheer ineptitude.

Absurd, dark, and a miscast Jim Carrey. Yuck.

Jim Carrey tries his best, but the film never gets psychologically creepy, never makes the viewer question what is fiction, what is reality, and most importantly what the number 23 is all about.

The Number 23 is an accidental comedy starring a deadly serious Jim Carrey.

There is something to this 23 stuff, and a film about apophenia (obsession with random connections) would be fascinating. But no.

Watching Carrey babble gibberish about the sinister nature of 23 in scene after hyperventilating scene isn't any more fun or enlightening than listening to street-corner lunatics discourse on similar topics.
