Two men wake up chained to the wall of a bathroom. There is a dead body between them. Neither man can remember how they got there and have no idea why a demented serial killer named 'Jigsaw' has given them eight hours to kill each other.
This has got to be one of the best films I have ever had the privledge of watching. This is so well written, witty and really unpredictable. The storyline is very clever, giving subtle hints throughout which only make real sense once the end is unmasked. The 'jigsaw' killer throughout Saw gives victims he's chosen, a chance to either live or die. They have to endure gruelling torture in order to live whilst he watches. Utter brilliance!!Saw 2 is even better, dare you play the game again?
WOW!! Now this is a must-see for anyone that enjoys a twist to their film. Admittedly not the best acted film ever produced but the twist and the ways the people suffer makes this a 4 rating in my book. Cannot wait for Saw II to be released and hope they dont just make a lame sequal as most do. I dare you to see Saw!!!
The acting by the the 2 main characters is a little wooden at times but the plot, suspense and twists are better than 'Seven' and therefore merit 'top marks'. Not for those of a nervous disposition however!
Excellent Film, Well worth purchasing.
One heck of a mind game. I love this film , many twists and turns
We will publish your review of Saw [2004] on DVD within a few days as long as it meets our guidelines.
None of your personal details will be passed on to any other third party.
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. Adam (Leigh Whannell) wakes up in a dank room across from Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) and the body of a guy who has blown his own brains out. Not a happy place, obviously, and it gets worse when both men realize that they've been chained and pitted against one another by an unseen but apparently omniscient maniac who's screwing with their psyches as payment for past sins. Director James Wan, who concocted this grimy distraction with screenwriter Whannell, has seen Seven and any number of other arty existential-psycho-cat-and-mouse thrillers, so he's provided Saw with a little flash, a little blood, and a lot of ways to distract you from the fact that it doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense. Wan and Whannell (who's not the most accomplished actor, either) pile on the plot twists, which after some initially novel ideas become increasingly juvenile. Elwes works hard but looks embarrassed, and the estimable Danny Glover suffers as the obsessed detective on the case. The denouement will probably surprise you, but it won't get you back the previous 98 minutes.--Steve Wiecking
This tense horror is the directorial debut for James Wan, and the first screenplay written by actor Leigh Whannell, who also stars. Two men, Adam (Whannell) and Dr Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes), wake up to find themselves chained to pipes in a room they have never seen before. Between them lies the dead body of a man with apparently self-inflicted gunshot wounds. As they begin to piece together the circumstances that led to their predicament, the pair realise they are the latest victims of a serial killer known as the Jigsaw, who orchestrates situations in which his captors will be driven to kill each other. They also learn that the killer has taken Gordon's family hostage. How can the men possibly outwit this sadistic psychopath in time to save themselves and the hostages?
