Review of Saw

Dr. Gordon: What's your name?

Adam: My name is Very Fucking Confused, what's your name?

After a long wait, I finally watched the movie everyone has been talking about. and i must say, i found myself enjoying this film. being a fan of movie twists and suspense thrillers, Saw is one of the few movies which actually make you stop and think. no detail is too small; every factor in the scenes may prove to be vital in the upcoming events. take for example the glowing object which was flushed down the bathtub drain; it turned out to be the key to adam's freedom (literally). i also was surprised to see the star of 'the princess bride' chained to a pipe and giving one of his best performances as a doctor and a family man gone temporarily insane. i could definitely see where he was coming from: he could hear the scuffle of his wife, zepp, and tapp, while his daughter screamed hysterically in the background. who wouldnt think the worst? irony is also a playing factor in this movie, and i loved how the director and the storyline played it out. but what really got me was the recollection of amanda, the only person known to survive the trap with which she found herself in. it must have been extremely traumatic, having to fight for your life even if you know how much of a scumbag you really are. :)) familiar tv personalities added to the roster of characters (leung, meyer, and the guy who played zepp) and made the movie even more enjoyable (for me, that is). even a surprise cast member, glover, made me go 'wth' when he first appeared. i can never connect him to any other movie that predator 2. looks like he liked being the cop that hunts the baddies down. :DDDDD it only took one viewing for it to become one of my favorite movies.

10/10
