Wraps all three movies up well

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2006)

I was intrigued by the release of Saw3, my main hope was that it wasn't a ploy to cash in on the success of the first two films a la Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th etc. Thankfully this isn't the case, if you were a little confused by the second one, this film goes along way to explaining some of the detail behind the first two films as a whole, it also gives more of an insight into Jigsaw's rationale, and a bigger chunk of Amanda's history and her involvement. The trap scenes are up to, if not beyond the standard set in the first two films and trust me if you are squeamish you may find one or two of them hard to watch. Once again there are main characters that the story centres around and plays with the emotion baggage they are laboured with, and it is done to great effect. What I found especially good about this film is the pace of it. It doesn't let up from the opening scenes until the end, it keeps you in suspense and also as with the first two there is the niggling feeling there is one final twist that you may have missed or not expected, does it have one? Well to find out you will have to go and see for yourself, suffice to say, in my humble opinion, if you are a fan of the first two films, you will not be disappointed by this one.
