The Number 23 (Film)

A thriller wannabe that neither chills nor thrills. I think the film gives too much credit to the number 23. At best, the number is like a smoke detector that might be an early warning system. The number certainly cannot make you do anything. The most haunting claim the movie suggests is the lack of free will, that everything is preordained with 23 being the proof. How this translates into a thriller is a bit dodgy with the results being mixed at best. The film starts out with a supernatural explanation that eventually is reduced to having the events caused by an all too human hand. I'm giving this one a C-. I do wonder if there was a sequel made, would it be called 24?
