What is Seven to do with this movie ?!?!?!

Rating: 2/10 (21 July 2005)

I heard a lot of people say this movie is comparable to Seven. Are you kidding ???
This silly little thriller has nothing to do with David Fincher's masterpiece. For several reasons.
First, Seven is able to catch the audience attention and to thrill them without needing to use some childish trick like a masked villain coming suddenly out of darkness!
Second, Seven carries on a deep psychological analysis on the main characters. Saw doesn't even try to do so (not bad for an alleged "psychological thriller" !!!)
Third there's an enormous difference in the quality of the actors' performances between the two movies! We have Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey end Gwyneth Paltrow versus Danny Glover and the guy from "Robin Hood: Man in Tights" !!!
Fourth the quality of direction, photography and cutting aren't even comparable.
Fifth, Seven is completely believable, while Saw is full of nearly ridiculous logically impossible situations, and many things in the plot just don't work! (e.g.: a doctor not realizing the man lying next to him is not dead, the obsessed detective who lets the jigsaw run away once he got him, the X on the wall not seen by the two prisoners at the beginning, when the lights are off, and many other things)
Just to mention the most evident reasons.
I rented this movie because everybody said to me it was like Seven. And I am so mad at throwing away my money this way!!
