One Of The Best Thriller/Horror Movies Of Late

Rating: 9/10 (15 August 2006)

When SAW hit the screens in 2004, it leaped to instant success. Albeit made on a low budget, the movie fails to disappoint, with clever twists and plots that will keep you guessing and speculating right until the very end. Although the acting talent of Cary Elwes (who plays Dr. Lawrence Gordon) has come under heavy criticism on the IMDb boards, actor/co-producer/writer Leigh Whannell gives a strong performance as the young photographer Adam, unfortunately caught up in one of Jigsaw's games. Without giving away too much, the movie opens out to reveal more than meets the eye with several characters. Overall, a highly enjoyable experience. 9/10
