Quite the mindbender

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2005)

Before I saw this film, I consulted many of my movie-going friends. They all loved it. They also said I would NEVER guess who the killer was. They were right. One of the greatest elements of this film (besides the commendable filmography) is the combination of gut-wrenching suspense, realistic gore, and the element of surprise. The directors did an excellent job of keeping their viewers attention throughout the entire film. Plus, the fact that "Jigsaw" could very well be any of the characters lets you trust almost nobody. My first time viewing this film, I thought I had the ending figured out about 4 different times, and I was stumped four different times. Just when you think you've got it...a clever twist is infused. Excellent film!
