Another Hollywood thing

Rating: 5/10 (17 February 2005)

I just knew it - having my expectations turned up for this movie, I was bound to be let down. The genre is not quite right, this would be a drama/thriller with a bit of small horror thrown in for good measure but along comes also some quite bad acting, especially from the Dr.
If you like a real good movie with a foot-cutting act, go look for The Audition by Takashi Miike. That ending scene had me trembling while Saw made me, well, a bit fooled or maybe just slightly insulted. As always, the Westerner kind of horror has nothing on Eastern ones.
For real nastiness, see if Ichi the Killer is still out there. That is not a beginner's horror flick but a hardcore perverted feast of violence. But Saw? Come on...
I give it a *** out of ***** thanks to good music
