lots of gore but the plot isn't as good

Rating: 6/10 (11 February 2008)

I am a Saw fan. I really liked the first one with the twist ending and the second one was pretty good. But Saw 3 takes a dip in quality of story and entertainment. Amaanda is now shown to be in cahoots with Jigsaw and probably the worst of the two. I just didn't like her character. She didn't really want to play the game like Jigsaw and give anyone a chance to win. She was a winy psycho.
This time the story revolves around a Dr., Lynn, who is forced to keep Jigsaw alive long enough to finish a game. She has a bomb around her neck that will explode if Jigsaw dies. We get a very gruesome brain surgery during this time.
The other part of the game involves Jeff, a man who lives for vengeance since his son was killed by a car. Jigsaw has captured the men Jeff blame for his son's death and gives Jeff a choice. Jeff can show forgiveness and save them or let them die in gruesome ways. In the end Jeff tries to save all of them, but is never successful. The guy in the rack was the most gruesome of the death traps. Bones being snapped like that is never good.
Then the twist is the link between Jeff and Lynn.
FINAL VERDICT: OK, but not as good as the first 2. It's worth watching if you like gore and blood.
