Rating: 8/10 (30 October 2009)

With it's bloody violence, interesting characters, and a solid script, 'Saw III' keeps the franchise sharp and going strong.It picks off after 'Saw II' where Detective Matthews was locked in the bathroom used in the very original.This sequel opens with him trying to get out of his shackle and you probably know how he gets out if there's no key and all you see is a hacksaw and a big rock.A nurse named Lynn is captured by one of Jiggsaw's accomplices for a very important reason.The Jigsaw killer( AKA John Kramer) has been having some really bad problems involving his head and now he puts his faith in Lynn to save him.You probably think that Lynn is just going to kill Jigsaw and his accomplice and just escape.That is where you are wrong if that was what you were thinking.Lynn has a device strapped to her neck that is basically a bomb.This neck-brace will detonate if John dies or she is out of range of John.So she has no choice and must help John if they both want to live.Meanwhile, John has a trick up his sleeve.He kidnaps Jeff, a man who is still mourning the loss of his son.When he is captured, he is given tasks by Jigsaw that involves the revenge that he has always wanted on his son's killer.If he can get through his tasks in 2 hours and Jigsaw is still alive, Lynn and Jeff can go free.That's pretty much the premise of 'Saw III' and I can say that it wasn't a bad one at all.Add some gruesome death scenes to this movie and you have yourself a darn good horror film that has you begging for more.Be sure to check out the unrated version.
