A Great Thriller!

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2005)

There are two plots of this movie: One is that two people stuck in a bathroom and must find a way out by clues a person named Jigsaw has given them. Between them is a dead man and they are locked by the ankle on a pipe.
The other is a detective, who is looking for Jigsaw who is the kidnapper of the two men. He's looking for him because he killed his partner, Sing, who died when both were looking for him when a bullet shot him through the head.
This is a unique film. The killer's motive is interesting. He puts people up in situation which they can die if they fail or which they can live. After seeing Se7en before Saw, I see why this is like Saw. Jigsaw locks people who are unworthy and if they pass their task, he'll know they'll care about their lives instead of using them for something sinister.
This film is really not a horror film but more like a crime thriller. For those who don't want to see it because they think it's scary, it's not because it's no even a horror. Well, the acting is kinda good as for their first rehearsal during the shoot of the movie. During the movie, we see part of the face of the killer. I ask why would they show it to us since they don't want us to know who the killer is? The question will be answer at the end of the film where the huge twist occurs.
This film is entertaining and ingenious. It's clever, like Se7en, but really better than Se7en. I was disappointed in Se7en but this movie is Saw and not Se7en so I'll say nothing about that. Go see Saw!
