Saw (Widescreen)

Saw (Rented from Blockbuster)

Second and a half rate thriller (second rate direction from helmer James Wan who actually shows a great deal of promise with a fairly low budget / third rate story that liberally steals from a host of sources - most notably David Fincher's best work - especially Seven and The Game.) Most of Saw's flaws stem from a script that thinks it's thrice as clever as it is. The film also features the greatest number of brain dead performances in any feature film that wasn't actually about zombies. (Very) Bad acting and a (very) mediocre script equal a crap film no matter who is behind the camera.

Saw should have done straight to video where it's shortcomings would have been more forgivable. Go in with lowered expectations and you may not find yourself reaching to press the fast-forward button too often.
