Different, Yet Quite Entertaining.

Rating: 8/10 (11 August 2008)

Jigsaw is back once again. He is now on his death bed, but one final game is in place. Saw III follows Jeff, a man who's son was killed by a drunk driver. He goes through a series of tests in which he must face great emotional pain if he is to get out alive. Meanwhile Jigsaw is being treated for his illness by Doctor Lynn Denlon, who was captured and forced to care for him. But Jigsaws new apprentice takes serious issue with Lynn, and everything goes down hill fast.
OK, the first Saw probably never will be equaled, but overall I was highly pleased with Saw III. It's definitely better than II. Everything has been stepped up another notch, especially the GORE (this movie has some damn awful torture in it). I hear a lot of people bashing Saw III, saying that the plot was dumb, and the twist at the end was predictable. But those who say this don't realize the true message behind it. Saw III is about how bad emotional distress can really be. You know before seeing it that the gore will be there, so the emotional suffering was new but enjoyable none-the-less. The twist is not what people think it is, it's rather difficult to understand at first, but once you know what the true twist is, you should really appreciate this movie.
