If anything, one of the funniest movies of the year.

Rating: 2/10 (3 November 2004)

Sometimes life just treats us unfairly and we spend $7.50 on a steaming turd of a movie. In this case, that steaming turd is Saw.
From the first trailer that I watched online, I was really excited about this movie. That whole trailer really unfolded about the first twenty minutes into the movie. I don't really want to get too much into the plot of the movie in case you are set on going to see it. So, what I will do is clue you in on the reasons that you shouldn't waste your time with this movie.
Carl Elwes (the dude from the Princess Bride) puts on one of the greatest worst performances ever. His over acting defiantly becomes the most painful part of this movie to watch. I know, it's a horror movie, there notorious for bad acting. That's not the case; he acts as if this Shakespearian play and just over does the majority of the scenes he's in.
Then you have good ole Danny Glover. Wow, he hasn't been this good in a movie since Predator 2! O wait, that movie was horrible. At least he gives us one good thing in this movie; one of the greatest lines ever:
'Well at least we'll be shielded by the night' Â– What?
Overall, this movie is like a broke ass version of Se7en. They couldn't get Morgan Freeman to play the detective in this one so, they settled for Danny Glover. This movie really just becomes hilarious towards the end.
I really can't bust on the plot of the movie that much because, for this being the guys first try at writing a movie I thought his ideas were pretty good. It's just unfortunate how bad somebody messed up when they cast the characters for this movie.
