Justin ChangGimmicky numerology plus Jim Carrey minus narrative coherence equals The Number 23, a visually and psychologically murky thriller that, given its hero's paranoid obsession with the titular number, plays like a very grungy episode of "Sesame Street." Noirish fantasy sequences and red herrings galore fail to enliven this straight-faced but silly exercise from helmer Joel Schumacher, while the prospect of Carrey in downbeat thriller mode promises to intrigue as many potential audiences as it turns off, equating to likely midrange numbers at the box office.

The Troop 23 continues this trend towards darker, more adult roles, but isn't anywhere come close as prospering as Eternal Sunshine, resulting in a potentially engaging but last analysis disappointing thriller that delves into the strange wonderful of numerology. Carrey plays Walter Sparrow, a placid-posed mock who enjoys a renowned relationship with his wife Agatha (Madsen) and son. Everything seems perfectly standard, until Agatha gives him a battered minute-hand book called 'The Slew 23...
