Did You See Saw?


SAW-2004-Two seemingly innocent guys are trapped in a secluded room, each of them chained to a pipe. They are given saws to cut away their legs if they want quick freedom otherwise the one guy, a doctor (Cary Elwes) must kill the other (Leigh Wannell from THE MATRIX RELOADED; also the screenwriter) or else his wife and child will die. It’s all a plot by some idiotic serial killer called “The Jigsaw Killer”. Flashbacks featuring Danny Glover and Kim Leung (later in LOST) show some of his past exploits. Also with Dina Meyer, Shawnee Smith and Michael Emerson (also later in LOST). This stupid talky trash was a big box office hit that spawned (at least at the time of this writing) 5 sequels!

Director James Wan also made a movie I liked better, DEAD SILENCE.

Thanks for reading!
