(sigh) More torture, more gore & more of the same

Rating: 7/10 (4 November 2006)

Well I'm a week late & a few dollars short but I've finally seen "Saw III" (Buddy 3:16 you owe me a cookie now-chocolate chip if you please :). Anyway, Saw III IS better than Saw II & almost as good as part 1. In this particular installment the director & the writers both prove they are some really twisted bastards as they go on a grisly torture & death rampage. There is one scene in particular involving dead pigs that's sure to turn stomachs & another giving the viewer an updated version of the medieval torture device The Rack. In fact, that's all this film really is, is gore & torture. Oh sure there is the obligatory end of the film plot twists but outside of that, the film remains like its' predecessors un-scary, grisly, & of course shocking. Jigsaw is now on his deathbed, protégé near his side with a kidnapped female doctor who is given really no choice but to help prolong Jigsaw's life or literally die trying. Now for the customary Saw snafu's: 1) How does a dying bed-ridden man with rookie in tow find the time to discover these human "lab rats"? 2) How does" " " " " " " " " " " find the time or strength to concoct these elaborate death traps? 3) Why are all these potential victims so damn stupid? The blindly open doors with writing on them & don't think to stick something in the door jam (like a shoe) to keep it from locking behind them. 4) It took me 5 seconds to figure out how someone could find & capture Jigsaw-have a electronic bug implanted in your body & then let Jiggy & protégé capture you. Cops trace it, find the hideout & end the game.
*MILD SPOILER*
I can't see any way that the producers can make a Saw IV especially one with Jigsaw. I say end it now, on a realitively high note.
Bloodstone's Recommendation: Saw III is decent movie going fare & worth wasting a couple hours & bucks on. Is it great or classic?-Oh hell no!
Bloodstone's Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
