Kind of Pointless

Rating: 5/10 (31 January 2007)

I really enjoyed the first two Saw movies, and looked forward to more of the same in the third installment. What I got more of though was just the violence and senseless mutilation. The whole thing seemed kind of pointless to me, as if they crew were just trying to fit as much violence and gore into it as they could.
To me the progression of the storyline in the movie seemed very choppy as well, with a lot of flashbacks and side scenes such that it made it hard to concentrate on the storyline. I also felt that there were too many unanswered questions remaining for the movie to appear to be the final part of the series.
All in all, if you've seen the other two and enjoyed watching the movie for the plot twists and the dramatic irony in the big reveals at the ends, this movie does not equal its predecessors. If you just want to watch a movie for the violent content, this movie is a great way to waste the time.
