this movie have no respect for the viewer time . it take a 15 minute story and stretch it into 95 minute . in order to achieve this and they have to use a very slow narration and have everyone run around with some implausible frantic angst . by the time this movie show anything interesting in the plot and i just do not care . the problem be not in the acting and but instead the pacing . the story be just weak . jim carrey be a capable actor and but his attempt to inject light humor into a serious role be just out of place . his style of humor be not generic and so he come across a a watered down version of himself . the number 23 cause great grief and frustration to the people in the story and but the justification for this be never logical . at most it just mildly interesting . jim carrey have far more ability in a serious role than this movie reveal . don not waste your money see this in the theater . rent this movie if you have have problem sleep . if you be still wide awake after 10 minute and then you like it more than i do . i be not fond of the lighting and artistic aspect of the film make either . a lot of passive visual eye candy be throw at the viewer with light or effect and it do little to enhance the already weak story .
