The Number 23

Overdoing it...again
TheStumps - wrote on 10/29/08

This movie should have stopped when Walter Sparrow ripped the wallpaper off and found all of the writing on the wall. There wasn't actually a need to continue; it was a perfect stopping point of intrigue. People would have had something to talk about and make up their own conclusions of what happened afterward, while still having been given plenty of material to have relative closure.
You know how he was, and what was going on at that point...the mystery was over. Everything after that was merely cleaning up the end in a nice and tidy "happy ending", which was horribly unneeded.

This could have been great with an ending likened to Twilight Zone stories. However...Schumacher stays true to his overdoing, and...well...over does it again.
