Money back please.

Rating: Null/10 (6 October 2004)

Just back from seeing Saw and oh my god what a dire excuse for a film. The acting was awful, hide your face Mr Elwes. For a thriller (wouldn't call it a horror) there were NO thrills, no suspense, no shocks or jumps. I also would have thought that to get into the film and have sympathy for the captives they should actually be likable characters who you care about even if they seem to be a couple of whiny, self-involved humans at the start of the movie.
How on earth anyone can compare this with se7en is beyond me, did anybody start laughing at anything in se7en? No, didn't think so; unlike Saw which had the entire auditorium laughing outloud at the utter nonsense on show.
Only positive from this thing was the 'bear trap' head device scene but a five minute segment that was OK doesn't make up for the fact that every other second was lousy.
