Synopsis
Animal control officer Walter Sparrow (Carrey) has found a book he doesn't dare put down. By reading a mysterious novel, "The Number 23," given to him as a birthday gift by his wife, Walter twists his once placid existence into an inferno of psychological torture that could possibly lead him to his death and the deaths of his loved ones. And all because of a number: The Number 23.

Critics' reviews
  • "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."
  • "A thriller like this needs to pack a lot of firepower on the backend. Unfortunately, all we get is a weak, much-anticipated little pop."
  • "Here's our homage to the film's tortured permutations of the numerals 2 and 3: 3 minus 2 equals 1. And there is only one reason to see this movie: You have absolutely nothing better to do."
  • "This is a film that doesn't quite know what it is. Perhaps a mistake would be the fairest description."
