SPOILER ALERT - Stuff that just didn't make any sense!!!

Rating: 3/10 (6 May 2006)

I avoided watching this movie for the longest because I'm not attracted to the graphic violent stuff, but after being prodded by friends, I decided to stomach through it.
The movie was sickening but not as bad as I thought (except for the key in the stomach scene, that was pretty awful).
Couple things just didn't make sense, starting with "Saw" being the "dead guy" in the middle of the floor. If I'm chained to a pipe for six hours, I'm gonna notice whether a guy is breathing or not. No way to fake death like that for that amount of time. One character even remarks on seeing a dead body for the first time, and how still the body is. This was a lame way of throwing us (the audience) off the dead guy as being the "murderer" sense we had to accept the premise that the body in fact was not moving. A virtual impossibility sense breathing is required of any body that is actually not "dead". This was lame.
Another thing that blew it for me was , if I'm the mom who just escaped and saved my daughter from certain death, I'm not gonna stand there with the gun on the killer, waiting for him to take it back. I'm gonna fill the son of a b*** with holes... that's just me. My wife in fact went crazy during this scene yelling, "shoot 'em, shoot 'em, shoot 'em!!!"
And perhaps the most bizarre scene was when the doctor was reaching for the ringing cell phone. Come on!!! He had already advised Adam to "use his shirt" when trying to reach the tape recorder earlier in the film. The cell phone would have been even easier to reach with a shirt than was the tape recorder. I thought the doctor realized this when he actually started removing his shirt, but instead, he uses his shirt as a tourniquet as he proceeds to saw off his foot. This was completely lame and contradictory... it took me completely out of the movie.
Lastly, it wasn't scary at all. It was just a "gross-out" movie. Remember the scene where the guy digs a round in fecal matter searching for a clue. How many of us wouldn't have started with the tank water first, never mind the fact that this is where the heart was actually painted.
There was some other stuff that simply didn't add up, but these were perhaps the big three.
