Very good

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2006)

Two men (Whannell and Ewles) wake up in a disgusting bathroom, chained to pipes, and separated by a corpse holding a gun and a tape player. They soon find out they are victims of the serial torturer "Jigsaw". Jigsaw finds horrible ways to make his victims kill themselves or each other. Soon, they find two saws in a toilet, courtesy of Jigsaw's advice via the tapes they found in their pockets. The only obvious means of escape is to cut their feet off. (Yes, they try cutting the chains, but it doesn't work.) Larry (Ewles) has five hours to kill Adam (Whannell) or his wife and daughter will be killed. They both try helping each other while secretly trying to win the game. This movie will keep you guessing until the end.
Excellent movie, great acting and a fantastic plot. Some of the flashback torture scenes are excruciatingly gory and may be hard to watch for the feint of heart - perfect for fans of the genre. Plenty of sub-plot action, interwoven just right to form one of the best horror movies I've seen in a very long time. The plot twists will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end of the movie.
