I Dare You To See Saw...

Rating: 9/10 (14 November 2007)

Let me get straight to the point. Saw is perhaps one of the most exciting, gripping and downright excellent thrillers I have ever seen with a plot to scare, terrify, and most importantly, entertain. The film gives a good taste of its flavour from the opening scenes- two men, one body and no clues. After some intriguing riddles and puzzles, they find a tape and cassette player which will give them all the answers- why are they here? What are they doing here? How will they get out?
Well directed, acted and produced, Saw is a roller-coaster of a film right from its very beginning. As the film goes on, the audience is kept on tenterhooks, waiting to feed on the smallest plot advancement. With perhaps the best twist ever seen since Darth Vader's paternity confession, Saw will excite, delight and intrigue all watchers of the film. Just do yourself a favour- ignore the inferior sequels and watch this with no knowledge of the film's plot twists, and prepare to be absorbed in an astonishing, visceral game of torture and mystery. You must see this movie.
