Who are you people that rated this? This was absolute garbage

Rating: 1/10 (14 November 2006)

I often want to comment on some of the many movies I see. Sometimes I want to just gush when I see a movie that I feel is great, share a movie I thought was funny, or rip a movie that I feel is junk. The thing is, I don't ever take the time to do any of that. THIS movie made me step up to the plate.
After much hype and even higher ratings I finally got around to checking out the SAW series. Now that the third installment is out I figured it was a good time to find out what I had missed. BIG MISTAKE.
Are current movies that bad that this one found an audience? Maybe. Anyone that puts this film in the same sentence as Seven should be dealt with severely. Absurd. I am a fan of Seven but not a crazy person that thinks it is the Citizen Kane of Horror/Mystery/Suspense films. This film, however, is just pure MTV generation, hype sustained, copycat Garbage. All that being said, it still does not find a place on my 3 Worst Movies of All Time list but it does a good job of trying. For the record, this always possibly changing list now includes, for different reasons: War of the Worlds, Mystic River, as well as Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (Depp + Burton version)
Let us explore some of the nonsense in this movie that has to be completely ignored if you intend to recommend this steaming pile to someone you either like or think might enjoy it.
1. Eight hours prone on the floor, face down, with no movement, and no problems just getting up and walking out? and from a supposed terminal cancer patient? Ha I tell ya. Ha.
2. What if Danny Glover kills the dude from Lost in the hallway? It is supposed to be okay that the movie doesn't even consider this?
3. So the key was in the tub the whole time and I am supposed to see this as clever or kinda cool?
4. The Dred Pirate Wesley has gone from Robin Hood: Men in Tights to this piece. Time to retire. I hope he saved some cash.
5. So After the deadline passes, he saws his own leg off, shoots the photographer, and crawls home?
6. Why is the photographer just left there at the end? Game Over? Who thought this was a cool ending?
7. Even MTV stopped making videos using the jerky 13 Ghosts camera style. Just not cool. Over and Done With.
8. Red Herrings with no thought in todays movies are just B.S. The dude from LOST was obviously not Jigsaw if there was a picture of him in the toilet. If you don't show the bad guys face but some of your characters actually see him, you know it is not a major character. Why reveal at all who the baddie is? You know if it works, a sequel would be needed. No, instead kill or maim all the major players. That is what you do when you make a movie in two weeks. Success.
9. I just love the drug addict that beat her puzzle, gutted a drugged paralyzed guy, and now has a new respect for her life. What a great moral for the movie. Better than any 12 step program. I sure there will be a rush for that kind of rehab.
I cant go on anymore because it is becoming painful to rehash. Heed my warnings or don't. This is my release. Had to be done. I am worried by all the viewers that gave this higher than a two rating. Mindless, easily led lemmings that fatten the pockets of the makers of this film. Shame on yourselves. Don't get me wrong. I love junk movies and consider some of them among my all time favorites. But please don't preach this and similar trash as top notch, must see material.
