The Number 23

*** - Jim “The Horned One” Carrey puts in a shockingly solid performance in this film in which - for once - he doesn’t mug for the camera like an idiot or make his butt cheeks act like a mouth. Like Robin Williams, Carrey’s serious performances are far more watchable than when he tries to be funny. While parts of this film are a bit dumb, most of it serves the plot in one way or another. It has a twist at the end (sort of) that isn’t completely predictable and is actually kind of satisfying.
