Saw

I recently saw “Saw.” I went in with rather low expectations, and still came out disappointed. The plot was not to blame; the sets were not to blame... Even the director was not completely to blame (though somewhat), I lay most of the blame on the low quality of the actors.

The movie is based around these people being locked in a room chained to pipes. They?re supposed to work there way out, and the room is like a giant riddle. There are numerous flash backs, and lots of forced looking crying. And then everyone dies (spoiler).

I would compare the actors to the soap actor “Calculon” from Futurama. “I am feeling a wide array of EMOTIONS!?” The Doctor from the movie had a strong Irish accent he tried his best to keep hidden but there were parts where he was trying to show “emotion” and he let it slip, and I laughed at very inappropriate times. In addition, there was this hilarious car chase. They show no road, no nothing, just cut back and forth from one guy wiggling a steering wheel to the other guy wiggling the steering wheel.

The movie did have a number of scary parts, the thing that rips a persons head open made me fidget in my seat. Also, I am quite sure most of the budget went for the awesome masks/puppets the guy had.

Overall, the movie was Ok. The dialog was awful, but seriously, who sees a horror movie for the dialog. Had some fear, much unintentional humor, and the stupidest car chase ever.
