Saw III

To make a trilogy there must be III. Saw has finally made its trilogy, with its latest installment of Saw III. Just like it’s predeceors Saw and Saw II , III comes with more gore and more plot twist that make one think “Where the hell did they come up with this?”

Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II) takes the directing reigns again in Saw III. Bousman takes us into the twisted world of “what will you do to survive.” With all of the original cast since the beginning, Bousman leaves nothing to the imagination and just shows what is in the head of Jigsaw. Torbin Bell dons the robe again as Jigsaw, the insane genius who pushes your will to the breaking point and sees if you will past it. His partner in crime is Amanda, played again by Shawnee Smith, shows us why Jigsaw picked her as his successor in Saw II. Newcomers Angus Macfayden and Bahar Soomekn play the new games that Jigsaw and Amanda have up their sleeves. Donnie Walhberg and Dina Meyer also reprise their roles from Saw II.

“I want to play a game.” That is the reoccurring theme in all of the Saw trilogy. The only thing is that all three movies are basically the same, just with new torture devices. Saw III is set up to be the final chapter, as all finals go there is that window that could lead to a Saw IV.

I cannot really go into a plot scenario with Saw III without hitting all of the twist and turns that the movie brings. I can say that just as you thought it was this way think again, this is Jigsaw who tells you upfront what to do and puts it in plain English for you, its just the way its interpreted that makes the difference. The gore and devices used in Saw III will make anyone cringe and jump saying “Oh My God.”

As with Saw II, Saw III brings the whole story of the original into perspective and shows what was not told in either of the first two movies.

I give this movie a 2.75 out of 5 (Because it is the same movie just redone a different way)

The movie is not a rental or a buyer, Borrow it from somebody who was stupid enough to pay full price for it.
