It's OK

Rating: 7/10 (5 March 2005)

How long did I wait to say this: I saw "Saw". Yeah!
Well, it was OK. The last 20 minutes were pretty stupid. The twist (if you can call it that) had nothing special, but it was alright. I mean, who cares who did it if you don't see this guy during the movie or has any special relation to someone in the movie anyway. There was a point in watching this movie when I had hopes it's gonna be good, but every minute that passed made it a little more mediocre. The soundtrack could have been better and better placed and the plot had so big holes, I could have thrown my foot through it. But the filmmaker did a pretty good job. The acting was not that great but at any rate bearable.
It was shot in 18 days and it's budget was $1,200,000. According to that, it's pretty good. It was suspenseful, even if it didn't pay out in the end. But at least it didn't give me a reason to be p!ssed off about watching this.
I'll give it 7/10, even if I thought about giving it a 6 because of the bad and sometimes over-the-top plot. But it's sometimes intense and has some good stuff.
Funny fact: Tobin Bell lay on the bathroom floor, perfectly still, for six days. He was not replaced with a dummy because the filmmakers could not afford one.
My personal favorite was the guy who had flammable substance all over his body and had to carry a candle to save himself. He kinda lost.^^ That was funny.
