A nauseatingly absurd film

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Mar 8, 2024

Schumacher is in his clenched, “realistic” mode here, and Carrey gives a grim, exhausted performance that would better suit a more serious movie.

| Original Score: D | Sep 20, 2022

Takes a decent premise and turns it into utter trash.

| Nov 21, 2019

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2012

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

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 15, 2010

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.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 6, 2010

Nothing to decipher here

| Aug 27, 2009

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

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 23, 2009

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.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Mar 3, 2008

A convoluted and rather dull affair.

| Jan 15, 2008

So much cascading hatred for the audience runs through the flickering images of this film!

| Original Score: 2/10 | Sep 27, 2007

... the film astoundingly reaches new levels of unintentional self-parody with every turn.

| Aug 2, 2007

THE NUMBER 23 starts off promisingly but quickly devolves into an uneven mess.

| Original Score: D | Jul 14, 2007

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

| Jul 9, 2007

What could have been an intriguing psychological drama turns into a mediocre crime thriller.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 9, 2007

The Number 23 is Schumacher's first stab at a scary movie, the end result just doesn't quite add up.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 25, 2007

This thriller's biggest mistake is its belief that it's as clever and original as it is visually stylish.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 27, 2007

Joel Schumacher does a chaotic job of turning this thriller into indigestible jelly %u2013 it wobbles formless for a while, finally settling into the shape of a duck

full review in Greek

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 18, 2007

Sem conseguir convencer o espectador do básico (a onipresença do número 23), o roteiro chega a apelar para absurdos para tentar provar sua lógica tortuosa.
