The Number 23

The Number 23 takes a unique approach to the classic thriller. It bases the film on the theory that numerous historical dates and seemingly coincidental occurrences are all linked by the number 23. Since the 23 enigma is not simply a fictional idea dreamed up by an overimaginative filmmaker, the movie carries a sense of unsettling realism.In a convoluted story line, Jim Carrey plays Walter Sparrow, a man who serendipitously encounters the "curse" of 23 through a novel that seems to be written about him. This sets Sparrow on a psychological downward spiral in which he realizes that the accursed number plagues every aspect of his life.
