not bad

Rating: 8/10 (5 March 2005)

I just 'Saw' this movie and it wasn't bad. It wasn't great either. It definitely was not on the level of Se7en. It tries it's best though, and many times, it seems that it wants to be just like Se7en. Nice try, but no cigar. First, the acting was okay. I've heard people say it was terrible, but I wouldn't go that far. It was average. Se7en had Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, & Morgan Freeman. Need I say more? Second, the plot was pretty good, and kept me going for the whole movie - until the end. My jury is still out on the ending. I'm not going to give away any spoilers, but for me, if the ending doesn't stand up to the rest of the movie, then what's the point? Let's just say they could have spent a little more time developing a few things there instead of trying to be so clever. Of course, that's just my opinion - I could be wrong...
