Like Seven? You may like this..

Rating: 3/10 (3 November 2004)

This movie is for those people out there who like typical Hollywood Psycho Thrillers. The references to the Movie SEVEN(Brad Pitt,Morgan Freeman)and NIGHTWATCH(Nick Nolte,Ewan Mcgregor) are numerous.
The amount of graphic gore in the film is high. The entire premise of the movie as shown in the trailers is based on the whole idea that two people stuck in a room have a choice of dying or cutting ones own limb off. This reminds me of the scene in Nightwatch. In fact, I'm pretty sure Leigh Whannell and James Wan were sitting around going hmm Seven was a big hit and that scene in Nightwatch scared people. Let's make a movie based on that and Tada You have Saw! Lets stress it SO much we NAME the movie after this one gross event!!
The twists are there, the graphic gross horror, followed up with a plot that looks like a Swiss cheese. So, If your looking for a "graphical, Oh my god I can't believe they showed that on the screen, I'm scared cause its so disturbing" movie, Then Saw is for you.
BUT if you enjoy movies where things are explained and make sense, Where you can relate with the characters who act in a way that they SHOULD as a pose to "What is the grossest/most disturbing response the character would do"... You WONT like this movie..
A Renter.. I've been there and seen the flavors in the movies mentioned.. Saw brings nothing new and exciting to the table.
