Impressive

Rating: 8/10 (9 February 2005)

Hardly ever does a movie open with an interesting premise. But Saw sure is an exception.
Sitting at the theater, not sure what to expect, Saw opens with two strangers chained down in a filthy bathroom. Both men are completely puzzled on how they got in that situation so they try to find clues to figure out the bizarre puzzle.
It turns out they are the latest victims of the Jigsaw killer, a sadistic maniac who liked to torture people who he believes don't understand the proper way of living life.
The plot isn't totally original though it does manage to spin some original ideas into it.
Normally movies like these end up straight to video, while the total garbage hits theaters. Luckily this hit theaters and let's hope there's more little gems like these that make it to the big screen.
