Saw III (2006)
3/10
this movie makes no sense

OK so here is my problem with Saw III. First off, we are supposed to see this Jigsaw guy as some kind of "spiritual healer" for people whose lives are in disarray. He takes people who have some sort of problem (note: the word problem is very loosely adapted in these films - according to jigsaw, a woman who is having marital problems needs to go through a deathtrap) and tries to help them "heal" themselves.

Makes sense?? Not really, but I will go with it anyways. In Saw III, the FINAL trap involves 4 people (including Jigsaw) but is really that crazy girl's game (even though she is Jigsaw's sidekick). OK, so Jigsaw says that he "despises murderers." Really Jigsaw?? Well you just included two innocent people in one of your games to teach some crazy drug-addict a lesson about anger management.

The one guy's "problem": he was upset that his son was killed in an accident.

His wife's "problem": her marriage went sour after the accident occurred and she was having an affair. Both seem pretty innocent to me. But wait, they need to learn a "lesson." I know it is just a movie, but the series has really lost its way from the original script. Saw 1 was not a good movie. It had horrible acting. BUT it had a decent script and a pretty good story line.

Now the Saw series is about the producers or screenwriters (whoever thinks up this crap) thinking up 4 or 5 deathtraps and then later filling in some lame story line. What we are left with is still horrible acting, except now an equally bad storyline.

Think its time to put this puppy to bed, Saw creators

Horrible acting

This movie had really bad acting, and I mean REALLY bad acting. I laughed through the first 45 minutes and then walked out of the movie theater.

I fault the script more than the actors - it just seemed like the characters' reactions to their situations was completely unnatural and unbelievable. I mean, the cop becomes interested in following a woman and her daughter for no apparent reason. And then, the woman speeds up and barrels through a gate seemingly unconcerned about her daughter's well-being.

Best part of the first 45 minutes: The mother randomly finds a picture that her daughter drew with the word "SCHOOL" on it - "I think I know where I can find her!!!!"
