---|---|---|---|
United States | AV Club | "Watching Carrey babble gibberish about the sinister nature of 23 in scene after hyperventilating scene isn't any more fun or enlightening than listening to street-corner lunatics discourse on similar topics." | NEG |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "A thriller like this needs to pack a lot of firepower on the backend. Unfortunately, all we get is a weak, much-anticipated little pop." | NEG |
United Kingdom | The Times | "This is a film that doesn't quite know what it is. Perhaps a mistake would be the fairest description." | NEG |
United States | USA Today | "Here's our homage to the film's tortured permutations of the numerals 2 and 3: 3 minus 2 equals 1. And there is only one reason to see this movie: You have absolutely nothing better to do." | NEG |
