Another October, Another Saw

Rating: 6/10 (3 November 2006)

The plot is about people in traps made by Jigsaw and his assistant, Amanda, and they must get out of them to live. That's obvious but there are two victims. The first victim trapped under Jigsaw's game is the Dr. Lynn Denlon who must keep Jigsaw alive. If he dies, she dies. She must keep him alive as long as it takes this other victim, Jeff, to complete a game of his own, which is trying to find a way out of this house maze.
Apart from the very bad Saw II, Saw III was a very good film. It's not a great one, not better than Saw, but a lot better than Saw II. Now, there are a little bit of characters, which leaves room for character development, unlike Saw II which had many characters probably just for the kills. There's a lot more gore and it makes the first two films look like Disney films. And there's the extreme again, where the second left off and in which Saw had.
There are a lot of more traps in this film and they are very creative. This film also connects to the first two films very well so that's another good thing. In this film, we actually care for the villains (in my opinion). And in the end, you expected it, there's another twist. This is not the greatest twist of them all, probably the weakest but I didn't care. I didn't really get the ending because the ending feels a little bit rushed which was a problem.
Some other problems, called cliffhangers, or left for a sequel, are unexplained sub plots. Not all things were explained in Saw III, but we all know it'll be in Saw IV, which there will be one apparently next October? This film is suspenseful and some parts are thrilling and there are scenes that wants to make you throw up or cover your eyes.
This film is a great recovery from Saw II. It's not the best one in the trilogy but it's worth the $8 dollars in the theater or a buy on the DVD. This won't disappoint the Saw fans so go see it!
