did you bother listening to their lines?

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2006)

im not sure what movie everybody that has commented on here was watching. what i saw was a thriller type movie with the very typical bad acting and bad writing that comes with it.
if you listen to the dialogue of this movie i think you'll realize where its downfall is. nearly 2 hours of a crime scene that includes 2 detectives and a single swat guy accomplishing nothing but saying stupid things like "its a game to him". where are the rest of the cops? why aren't they trying to solve the problem that jigsaw gave them? the only thing i see from this movie is blatant bad acting and bad writing mixed in with some gnarly traps and death scenes.(which can only carry it so far)
the movie could have been much better overall if they had bothered working on the plot outside of the house for a while. overall the lines and acting in this movie were very cheesy and left much to be desired.
besides the obvious crappy window boards that somehow are overlooked the entire movie as a means of escape there are many glaring questions about how these things are being accomplished.
how are one young girl and one single male able to track everyones actions? how does an old dying man know so much? how is he able to put together intricate traps, carry 8 people into a house without anyone noticing including full grown males one of which is large? where is this house? the old man must have a large group of spies and helpers in order to make this even somewhat possible not to mention the problem of setting up a whole house with poisonous hard to come by toxins.
there was a lot of potential and the writers screwed it up every step of the way. the fact the entire movie is basically about an idiot who runs around trying to pry open heavy steal doors and knock everything over without thought or rationale is annoying. the rest of the group follows him around as if he has even a little intelligence and then he starts killing people.
i agree it was annoying to have the whole numbers thing made into such a big deal then it was dropped and the whole thing was a big waste of time. the only thing worse was every scene involving the cops with jigsaw. no other cops showed up, everyone else must have been too busy to come help with the case i guess.
the girl reaching in for the needle, pulls it all apart spilling the liquid all over the box, then she reaches in her other hand to try and retrieve a worthless plunger? were these people taken from the mental hospital?
you'd think someone would watch the door to the furnace. i found myself laughing through most of the movie, because it was a joke. much like the cheese found in the movie house of a thousand corpses. almost an attempt to make fun of movies in the genre, only i think they were serious.
throwing a girl into the needles, then after he drops the key screwing up, he brilliantly claims "the only thing slowing me down is you people". B movie, plain and simple. anyone involved should be embarrassed.
worst part overall though was the writing, especially everything to do with the muscle bound idiot and the cops with jigsaw. nothing deep, nothing logical.
