Should not have Saw

Rating: 2/10 (7 November 2005)

This movie is absolutely unworthy of being compared to a thriller like "Seven." James Wan's directing was awful, the cinematography was awful (especially in the scene with Danny Glover in the truck), and the acting was awful altogether. This was easily the worst performance I had ever seen by Elwes, Leigh Whannell acted terribly and should stick to writing, and I feel bad that Danny Glover even accepted this role. The only credibility that I will give this movie is that I liked where Whannell was going when he wrote this, and for that, it would have made a better book. There was not an enthralling or suspense-filled moment in this movie. An auxiliary reason for me giving a 2 instead of a 1 is the hilarity I found at the clown on the tricycle (that was supposed to be scary or something) that kept me laughing for quite a while, and the acting kept me laughing the rest of the movie. Cary Elwes and Leigh Whannell make Keanu Reeves look like Tom Hanks in this movie. Once again, the storyboard was good, however, the directing and acting in this movie will keep it rated in a state somewhere between awful and abysmal.
