Review of Saw (2003) by Brendan N — 11 Oct 2017
Let me start with the negatives. this is a relatively low quality movie with a low budget. the actors were mostly horrible choices giving terrible performances. there were some questionable directing decisions and editing choices.
Having said that, this is one of the coolest ideas for a movie. as someone who loves putting myself in the characters' shoes, this idea gives me the business. the story is awesome and intriguing as the mystery unfolds. so many memorable scenes and game ideas. I love this movie, it beasted me the first time I watched it in theaters, even with the noobs laughing out loud at some of the acting. if this movie had better acting and directing, it could easily be a 4.5 (about 4 viewings).
SPOILERS.
I loved how they explored the idea of jigsaw helping his victims lead better lives if they survive the game. the twist at the end is one of the all time greats. and the music they played during the reveal is so perfect. gives me goosebumps every time.
