Review of Saw III (2006) by Wololooo — 25 Mar 2012
I have really mixed feelings about Saw III. As a fan of the first two Saw films, I was intrigued to see what Wan and Whenell would do with the series, and the result was somewhat unusual. Tobin Bell, once again reprising his role as Jigsaw/John Kramer, is the standout in terms of acting.
It was hard to care about the other characters, with the possible exception of Amanda, simply because they're portrayed so unconvincingly. It was interesting seeing the new focus on character development come into play, as Kramer transforms Amanda from survivor to apprentice.
The ending really did surprise me; it's revealed this game was truly testing Amanda, and Lynn and Jeff were merely pawns. Traps in Saw III were gruesome, especially the pig carcass pit. My only problem with them is how straightforward they are to solve.
