Pretentious piece of trash...

Rating: Null/10 (4 September 2006)

Ahhh, another "shock" movie. I just loooove those.
It's just so unbelievable. Here's a sampling of some questions that the viewer may have (but are never answered or explained in any way)
1. Where did "Jigsaw" get all these conveniently empty warehouses to stuff people in? 2. Where did he get the money for all these cool little traps that he had?(like the "reverse bear trap"?) 3. First of all, he's a dying cancer patient! Where is all his strength to set up these traps, record all these messages, break into people's houses, lie still for 10 hours and then get up without being completely NUMB?
And then there's the acting. Never have I seen Cary Elwes give such a terrible performance. Jigsaw is summed up in one word: annoying. If you want to see a menacing villain, watch "Se7en". Not Saw. All the situations in this movie are unbelievable at best. For example, why would two cops go, without backup, into the hideout of a guy who's been notoriously killing for months? And of course, the big QUESTION. "What would you do to stay alive?" Well, not only is this question pretentiously portrayed throughout the entire (boring) length of the film but it isn't exactly answered either.
Basically, if you want a creepy, disturbing, scary movie, go somewhere else. Once you get past the gore in this pretentious film, it's just plain boring.
