A Disturbing / Scary ~ Not bad all round film.

Rating: 7/10 (20 February 2005)

Well I viewed saw because I was looking for a random movie to watch. Surprisingly I don't actually recall too many scares in this film. Then again that's also probably cause I've sorta gotten acquainted with the Thriller/Horror etc genre now.
It's a lot better than Seven, which was just 100% disturbing and causing you to either puke or turn away before you're naturally inclined to. The film as most have already said is one of those intellectual ("We drop 500 hints which most of you won't piece up till the end when we do it for you") puzzles. There are a few scenes and events which will make you think: "Yea saw that one coming" Especially the final twist ;)
You can't blame the film however, it does a pretty good job overall and through some good effort manages to steer clear of ending up with too many "i saw that one coming" style bibs & bobs. Worth a watch if you're into the genre.
