Shawnee Smith: After her meh performance in the first one and her marginally better performance in the second one, Smith finally gives a decent performance.

 

 

The script: The writing for this is piss-poor. While there is one good legitimate twist, (the one about Amanda's traps being intentionaly unescapable.) it mostly sloppy.

 

The traps: The traps in this aren't thought-out-well,  mean-spirited at times, and seemed to be designed for grossness instead of terror. In particular...

 

The pig corpse trap: This scene is WAY to gross! To explain it, a person is trapped at the bottom of a pit and a bunch of maggoty pig corpses are ground up so he'll drown in it. Even worse, the person at the bottom is a judge who doesn't seem to do anything wrong! At least the traps preceding it and succeding it where guilty of something to marginally "justify" their torture!* Sure he gave the killer a light sentence, but the evidence was minimal and that was probably the best they could do. It's like Law Abiding Citizen all over again!

 

 

Angus MacFayden: MacFayden plays Jeff who lost his son to a negligent driver. We should feel sorry for him, but he's annoying and poorly-acted. He's, also, a massive prick. He's one of the most annoying horror movie protaginists in a while, comparing to Tommy in Friday The 13th V!

 

Well, that's Saw III. Man, it was boring. Grade: C

 

Next-up: Saw IV!

 

*The girl withheld evidence and the other guy ran over a child.

 

The movies are the best horror movies,'cuz they're deep,but they focus a lil'too much on the blood,and people don't see what's "inside".

 

The 3rd. is the last one that's great,and I blame Leigh wannell for not writin'them anymore.The rest are O.K.,but they keep gettin'worse'cuz after JIGSAW dies,his games continue,'cuz we don't know where the saga is goin'.
