How did I nail the year of this Saw entry? How? I'm supposed to be bad at years after 2000.
Saw is keepin on going guys, and I'm like 4 days late writing this review, as I saw this I think last Friday or Saturday. Saw II I think I saw in theaters, and I think by this time in the franchise I was not going to see them in the theater anymore. In fact, none of this felt familiar and it's possible I have not seen this movie before.
Saw III, about 45 minutes in, feels like a series of connected vignettes more than a proper Movie movie. I'm not sure why this is because the plot is very present throughout the movie, and all the vignettes are tied quite closely, but yeah, I don't know exactly but it did really feel that way.
The third entry here focuses and a cancer ridden, dying Jigsaw character who has Amanda still working for him, and they kidnap unhappy wife Lynn to keep Jigsaw alive while this guy Jeff goes through a series of rooms containing the people that had something to do with his sons death. We also have sort of a prequel in this movie, as it contains flashbacks to the setup of the first Saw. Perhaps all these things are why it feels like a few vignettes.
Saw 3 is perhaps the begin of a decline here, as the only great actor is relegated to bed duty (literally) and the other stories are okay enough but not that gripping or compelling. I mean, I kinda couldn't care less about a lot of this shit. The traps are pretty good, I suppose the one I'll remember the best is a guy who is drowning in liquified rotting pigs. Interesting?
I'll give it a solid 2. It's ok.
