Review

 

Walter Sparrow (Carrey) is a middle-aged dogcatcher whose wife Agatha (Madsen) has bestowed him with an obscure mystery novel detailing the investigation launched by a tough-talking gumshoe named Fingerling (also Carrey) whose every move seems to be overshadowed by the number 23. After noting a series of alarming parallels shared between the fictional detective and himself, Walter is quickly drawn in to the story. His mind fast descending into a dark and violent whirlwind of madness, Walter enlists the aid of Agatha and the pair's adolescent son Robin (Logan Lerman) in seeking out the author of the mysterious tome and uncovering the sinister truth behind the enigma.

I found this film refreshingly different. It grabs your attention from the start and doesn't leave you disappointed at the end. The plot was very clever and well directed, as well as the acting from Jim Carrey and the rest of the cast. It is very under-rated and I would recommend it to fans of Donnie Darko, The Butterfly Effect and Stir of Echoes. It is a film you still think about long after viewing.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Why do films have to have stupid twists

Poor poor script writing almost ruins what otherwise was a good film. A lesson to script writers if you are going to insist on a direction change in a film at least think it through I know a film can take you to another world etc but you should always believe in where your taken.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Worth watching

I was a little bemused while first watching this film, however, half way into it I was starting to think that the plot was changing and I was right, the acting was excellent I like Jim Carrey in some films not all mind you but thought his serious acting in this film was very good. And the ending has such a twist if you don't pick up the plot along the way. Well worth watching.
