Gee!! This is real hardcore!!

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2005)

The first impression I had while watching "Saw" was: hey, this looks like a mix of "Cube" and "Seven" (two persons in a room not knowing why are they there, the way the murderer kills his victims...) ... then, also for a while, I started to think that they've converted a nice idea into a cheap thriller where the good guys (or the victims) get safe and the bad guys are defeated... but wow!! Wan really takes us in!!.
Obviously, due to the ultra-violent content of Saw and the grotesque atmosphere of it it's not a movie to be watched by the most sensitive persons. I'm not gonna judge if this kind of stuff has a justification (the violence and the blood, ... it's like they had made a brainstorming about how to kill in the most disgusting way), the fact is that you'll spend a very nice time watching "Saw" (if you like this kind of disturbed material).
*My rate: 7.5/10
