DeBaser's reviews of Joel Schumacher collect mixed opinions: some praise actor-driven films, others criticize plots and tone. Falling Down is often read as urban malaise; The Number 23 draws criticism for confusion and gimmickry. Flawless is noted as an actors' piece with strong leads.

For:Film viewers interested in Joel Schumacher's films and critics looking for varied takes on his work.

 The pathological obsession with numerology dominates the protagonists in 'The Number 23' by Joel Schumacher (director of 'Falling Down' in 1993), and more specifically, the diabolic redundancy of the number 23.
