It starts to worsen

Rating: 6/10 (17 August 2017)

"Saw III" brings back the Jigsaw killer, this time so weak that he has to kidnap a doctor to keep him alive while his obsessed assistant prepares a final game with a man who lost everything when his son got killed during a car accident and seeks revenge for it.
Unfortunately, this part is not nearly as good as the first two have been. It is still a solid movie, don't get me wrong, but it feels a bit like the producers are desperately trying to bring in elements of surprise which doesn't work out as well as it did before. Instead, there are several backflashs that make it sometimes hard to keep up with the story and the stringency that was a center-piece of the first two parts, goes missing at least partly. What you get is still a dark and sinister thriller that keeps you entertained but it sometimes tries to hard to be a Saw movie.
All in all you do nothing wrong by giving this a try but you should know that you can't expect something as carefully balanced as the other parts of the series.
