Audience Member Worst movie I have ever watched. People who say the critics are wrong and the movie is not that bad: don't believe them. Yes, Jim Carrey gives a good performance here, but everything else is just all over the place. The movie tries so hard to make you belive the numerology and the obssession with the number 23 is brilliant, but in the end is just so random and non-sense. The movie is confusing and bad directed with everything happening so fast and a lot of exposition. If you ponder a little you can fully understand the movie, but that does not make it good. Afterwards, it just continues to be a messy premise that requires a lot of reality suspension to be believed. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review Chrissy C It´s upsetting how insanely inept and preposterous this disaster is. Joel Schumacher did have his good days but he often struggled with tone and what the man who directed A time to Kill was going for here,I can not tell. It reads like a overstuffed,unecessarily convoluted mystery with very occult overtones signifying nothing,Jim Carrey plays his lead as a tortured soul stuck in a generic drama and mr.S directs the whole thing as a glossy,wannabe noirish potboiler that looks cheap with dashes of pg-13 creepiness and it´s all just very "what the hell am I watching"? Great cast though,never any shade on Virginia Madsen. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Dan R 2007's 'Number 23' was one of the first examples that Jim Carrey could play a serious(ish) role. SYNOPSIS: 'Walter Sparrow becomes obsessed with a novel that he believes was written about him, as more and more similarities between himself and his literary alter ego seem to arise.' It's not the worst film you'll see, especially when looking at this sort of sub genre, but it has so many flaws it ruins something which could've been half decent. With its glaring plot holes, over-reliance on coincidence and unexplained central conceit, it is hard to fathom why this project drew the likes of Jim Carry and Virginia Madsen. And neither of them can carry this film on their own. Carrey does play crazy really well though. 5/10 Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Julian S There’s an undeniable cheapness to it, no matter how hard Carey tries—and he really does try. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Cindy H I am a BIG horror and thriller fan and I really liked this movie! Thought Jim Carey was amazing as always. Score on RM gives me doubt in relying on their opinions about any movie. I recommend judge for yourself👍🏻 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Sean D 7% is so wrong !! Remember watching this when it first came out and being a big horror and Jim Carey fan I was so excited. On the horror side you will be slightly disappointed, but as a thriller it's pretty solid overall. I loved the dream sequences and Jim Carey puts in a decent performance, and the ending caught me off guard !! 7% from the critics is ridiculous. Glad to see the audience score is pretty fair Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
