Jim Carrey's fans have been praising what some call his "best non-comedic role" in a divisive thriller, which was released 18 years ago today, on February 23, 2007.
"Although it doesn't have the best ending as far as thrillers go, I enjoy it, and I think it holds up as one of Carrey's best non-comedic roles (I'll always hold Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in the top spot.)".
While some viewers praised the film's narrative and Carrey's performance, others were less impressed, branding the film as "awful".
It has a Tomatometer score of 7% and an audience score 56%, so excluding the Tomatometer score, it seems to score fairly high among viewers.
The Number 23, directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Jim Carrey, continues to divide fans, 18 years after its release.
