SAW

The Jigsaw killer never directly kills his victims. He instead places them within elaborately gruesome traps which he views as giving each victim a valuable life lesson – survive and you’ll appreciate what you’ve got a little more. However, chances of survival are often slim, so far only one victim has survived. Gordon knows of Jigsaw because five month previous he was a prime suspect in the case, being grilled by Detectives Tapp (Glover) and Sing (Leung). He was released after his alibi for one of the murders checked out.

After playing tapes given to them by the distorted-voiced killer, the pair find out that Dr Gordon has six hours to kill Adam or Jigsaw will murder his wife and daughter. As the men struggle to find a way out, new clues and puzzles emerge, as do facts that slowly reveal the two men may not be as unconnected as they first seemed. This puts a different perspective on their situation.

There is no melodramatic lead-in to Saw, it throws you straight into the middle of the story and never lets go till the final frame. The majority of the movie plays out in a harshly fluorescent “cell” with all the other action, save the final act, being told through flashbacks. This can make Saw seem strangely stagy, especially in the extended opening scene. It’s an unusual approach but it works well as the movie never once drags.

The flashbacks primarily focus on the detectives’ search for the killer as it goes tragically wrong. Although Danny Glover’s role amounts to nothing more than a supporting character, it’s nice to see him in a good movie for a change and not some lame fishing comedy with Joe Pesci. These scenes are all shot in dank, murky greens and yellows, and are probably the biggest contributor to this movie’s association with Se7en. It’s a fair comparison in visual style, if not execution. It is here, however, than Whannel’s script suffers most, relying a little too much on rule-bending cop stereotypes and a bit of convenience.
Saw is not for everyone. It can be gruesome and brutal, if that’s your thing, but that makes up a very small part of what it otherwise an interesting psychological thriller. It’s not perfect; with a little less hamming from some of the leads and a little script tweaking it could have been an excellent movie. But in a season full of unashamedly awful R-rated movies clearly aimed at 13 year olds (like Resident Evil: Apocalypse), Saw is a refreshingly grim and cynical film for adults only.

Two American college girls become the subjects of a sadistic medical experiment while on a road trip across Europe. Invited to a party by a handsome waiter, Jenny and Lindsay are en route to the festivities when their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Desperate, they decide to seek help on foot, eventually coming across the home of a retired surgeon named Dr. Heiter (Dieter Laser). Dr. Heiter is internationally renowned for his work on separating conjoined twins, but these days he's using his surgical skills for something entirely different. His goal is to create a human centipede by removing his patient's kneecaps, and sewing them together, mouth-to-anus. The only thing preventing Dr. Heiter from carrying out his experiment is a lack of human subjects. When Jenny and Lindsay arrive on his doorstep, Dr. Heiter enthusiastically begins prepping for surgery.
