Yes, I know that the future of torture porn has been declared dead. That does not mean that it is not worth watching. In fact, amid the intense pain and suffering is what could be called some socially redeeming value.
Who among us has not been wronged in the past? How many of us torture ourselves with those memories and vow to get revenge? How many of us are crippled because we won't let go of those who wronged us? Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) was doing the people he tortured a favor by exposing them to the demons that possesses their lives and helped them release those demons. Maybe he went a little far to prove a point, but he had some pure motives.
Enough moralizing. The movie was creative and exciting. The devices were ingenious and I am sure the CIA is using these films as training material for their own torture operations. Forget the blood, the chopped up pigs was brilliant. Yech! How disgusting! Can't wait to see number IV.
