Sawbones starts innocuously enough and I see Adam Baldwin first billed and perk up just a little bit!
Sawbones does indeed have Adam Baldwin as the detective running the show as a dude who tried to be a doctor and got denied goes on a killing spree. According to what I found, this was a Showtime movie, showing in July or 1995. If only I'd been there...
It's impressive that stupid, barely written movies can still be elevated by just one good performance and not the worst writing of all time. Baldwin is a really good actor and his charm is in full effect in this movie, and the dialogue is ok. Just those two things take this to about 2 stars.
There is also nudity aplenty in this, and the kills.... well, they are there. They're all the same really. Performed on the doctors operation table. The doctor guy has to pretend to be completely nuts and have dialogue with other doctors and assistants, and that's clearly a weak link in the film.
A small twist is the end distinguishes this a little bit from what you might expect. Otherwise, it's a whatever kinda dumb 80's feeling thriller.
