First of all, my quick review. By far one of the worst movies ever made, anyone who says otherwise (besides the ones who found this entertainingly stupid) has no clue about movies whatsoever. The acting was hilariously bad, I could do much better without having ever acted. The camera work was pretty "high school movie project", and the story wasn't even REMOTELY original. SAW 2 was this movie professionally done. Or I guess, more accurately, THIS movie was SAW 2 unprofessionally done. And that's a gross understatement. Let me give you five reasons why, off the top of my head: 1. If you said it's not really a rip off of SAW 2, consider this: there is a key placed in someone's insides that must get removed (SAW 2 does this, and OH! so does SAW 1). There are two main cops, a man and a woman. The woman cop is trying to restrain the aggressive man cop from being unprofessional, from rushing into things, and from being too aggressive. The woman cop has curly longish hair. She is not a very good actress. Sound familiar?? Dina Meyer from SAW 2 and her buddy cop Donnie Wahlberg. Um, what else? How about the whole concept of a bunch of people stuck in a room with death traps awaiting them that is relevant to their lives, and each one can escape or survive by winning their twisted game? Where have I heard that before??? Oh yeah, SAW 2. The voice transformations by the boring, flat villain who may as well be called "Reciprocating Saw" so as not to completely give away the connection. The stack of TV monitors he watched to enjoy his game... Yeah, this movie had a FEW rip off moments, especially coming one year after SAW 2... Awful movie...
2. Near the end of the movie, we see this flash of scenes that goes from inside to outside of the building/warehouse. We hear this goofy awfully placed soundtrack every time we see the Dina Meyer copycat cop outside the building. The suspense builds as we wait for the two "stories" to meet up. NEVER HAPPENS!!! SHE NEVER GETS IN!!! How stupid and pointless were all those minutes watching her sneak around the building with her gun?? Awful movie...
3. Near the end when the hero lady is in the control room, she puts some chain lightly around the door handle, and this STOPS the mad man from entering. It doesn't even LOOK like it could stop him, nevertheless the fact that it COULDN'T. They could have at least fooled our eyes a bit. But no. THEN, she doesn't know whether he's still behind the door or not, so she slowly undoes the chain. THERE'S A MONITOR RIGHT BEHIND HER WITH HIS LOCATION BEING TRACKED!! Why not look there first, see where he is, plan accordingly, THEN unlock the supposedly locked up door?? Awful movie...
4. The genius villain can rig up light bulbs to explode on cue, films to start playing on cue, the ridiculous gun trap where there's no way the a little tug on a wire shoots all those guns off, one after another, and they all MAGICALLY hit him, although he's not even in the center of the circle... Or any of the traps really. They're far-fetched to say the least. Awful movie...
5. Stupidity. The girl waits for the supposed "villain" to come out of the elevator, so she stand 8 ft back from the elevator door to attack him with a pole. She doesn't seem like she knows how to tie her own shoe, but she'll attack this grand master genius with a pole. Instead of placing herself intelligently out of sight, beside the elevator, she awaits him head on. Stupid. Then this weak stupid girl can put a pole through another guy's body. ALL THE WAY THROUGH!! How? Stupid. And how was that guy alive and standing up?? No way he'd be alive. STUPID. They constantly separate when they're all terrified. No one would be that stupid in real life, when they're that scared. The villain somehow escapes the building alive, tracks down the daughter, sets up a camera in the house, somehow wires it to her TV and can change it to a live feed magically. Would he do all that just to come in and kill her? Stupid.
The gore is insanely fake looking, the acting is inexcusable, the brains of the characters are non-existent, and the movie is intolerable. I like good B horror flick, but this redefined awful. Please avoid this and save yourself the time unless you want to set a personal new "worst movie ever". I could make a better movie with my friends in a week.
