Worth a watch, or is it only the concept that makes you think; not the film? |
When you watch the first time the plot takes you for a nice ride, there are some plot twists and some suspense. Then watch the extras on the DVD, Carey gives some clues about what he really thinks, while staying in the "23" mode. After you watch a second time, you realize the movie is kind of like a parody of movies of the movies of this genre, and not to be taken too seriously. When you do that you get a different appreciation of the movie.
It is certainly worth a rainy day or a Saturday night with a friend and a few glasses of wine. Afterward, I bet you spend a lot of time coming up with "23" stuff. That's what makes you think. Then if the math becomes to taxing, you can give up at 10 and always add 13, which is the real creepy number.
