Excellent First Effort

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2004)

I saw "Saw" on a Monday morning at 10:00 am. There couldn't have been more than 6 people in the place. Immediately after the start of the movie you were drawn into the script, sitting on the edge of your chair trying to grasp each detail as you realized quickly that each one would be of importance as the movie continued.
After a summer of wanna-be "thrillers" this movie hit the mark! It was excellent. Sure there are questions. Would be "arm-chair" movie critics have had their say....but the bottom line is simple...the movie is making mega bucks and thousands are enjoying it. Don't sit on the sidelines for this one. If you only see one more scary thriller before you die....this is it!! On a scale of 1 - 10, I'd have to give this one an easy 9.5!! Made me "think" and ponder the plot and twist long after the movie credits stopped rolling.
