EN 5 Second Review:
Jim Carrey explores his darker side and it scares us
anywway.
Carrey,
doing his first creepy-junky puzzle horror thriller, throws himself into
blood-bucket acting with a commitment that's scary enough to hold you Owen Glieberman: Entertainment
Weekly
By the end, you'll want to stick around, if only to crack
the Jim Carrey code: Is he a real actor after all, or is the rabid
urgency with which he keeps trying to be the most real thing

all angles....more
Genuinely

into a snaking noir with much paranoid numerologising as
‘23’ pops up everywhere. The who-wrote-it revelation folds
under scrutiny but it’s fun getting there...more
