Wasn't sure what to expect going in really. Would it be a gory slasher flick, a serial killer film, a murder mystery? Turns out Saw delivers, sort of along the same lines that Seven did, and really needs to be seen. If you're fan of Seven and similar films, you'll eat this shit up as Saw is a well-crafted film that packs a wallop of an ending! I don't wanna give away any spoilers, but this film excels on just about every level, especially the story and ending. I thought I knew what was up, but shows how much I knew by the time the credits rolled. The movie basically revolves around two people chained in a room, caught seemingly in a madman's game of mousetrap. The game they must play to live or die unravels, as does the back-story, showing a sick sadist who has caused the deaths of several others in various sick ways of life or death scenarios where the victims can either live or die based on the choices they are willing to make. Good shit here folks. I just watched Seven a few days before seeing Saw, so I seem to wanna keep comparing the two, as there are some similarities. Saw is nearly as good in it's own way & there's plenty of room left for a sequel, which would be cool. The movie could have been a bit bloodier I think, but there is something to be said for a well-placed shotgun blast and some cool, self-induced hacksaw fun! If you been worried about seeing this flick, don't be, it's cool and you'll enjoy.
