i dont care what anyone says this is a really good film, jim carrey is fantastic in it. and the story is brilliant.

i urge you to buy this and see what a superb film it is.

I can't understand how any film lover could not enjoy this film. Even just by watching the bonus features you can see how well this film was thought out. Like many have said, I believe that critics didn't like the fact that Carrey was doing something different to Ace Ventura or The Maskand they didn't know what to think. He is absolutely amazing in this film! The way he portrays two completely different characters is fascinating to watch. Critics should look beyond the ends of their own noses and actually take a film for what it is, and not look for what they perceive to be the way someone 'should' act.

If you love intelligent thrillers then I think you'll love this.

Jim carrey plays Walter sparrow, an obsessed man by the number 23 after reading a book about the number. after watching this i found myself and freinds at work adding numbers to come up with the number 23.. it will make you so paranoid its unreal. this fllm is dark and at times confussing,but stick with it and when the twist happens at the end its a nice shock.. no spoiler here.. watch and find out.. then feel the paranoid thoughts creeping in.. even your birthday date will be added up..
