Have you seen "Saw" ?

The movie had EVERYTHING going for it, until the one scene where "Robin Hood" Cary Elwes overacts sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo horribly it turns into a total joke. I was literally laughing my ass off in the theater that we were supposed to take that seriously.

My thinking is since that is the director's first movie, he ran out of money to reshoot that scene or something similar. There is NO WAY that scene should have left the cutting room floor.

Overall, I'd say it's definately worth seeing, but when the overly dramatic scene comes, plug your ears and turn your head.
 
My fiance and I were disappointed.

Poor execution, cliche dialogue ("at least we have the cover of darkness to protect us!" - are you kidding me?), bad acting.

The ending was admittedly a surprise, but that wouldn't justify watching the entire movie.

I'd recommend it as a rental if you like psych-thrillers. Otherwise, it's overrated.
 
I think they did that because he is supposed to be an "ordinary joe" with no acting skills.
He had to portray amateur acting skills because he did not play the role of an actor in the movie itself.
It is overexaggerated because he has no skill in acting because of his character limitations.

 
There's already a Saw thread.

I thought it was okay for what it was. Acting wasn't anything special, plot was surprisingly decent. Cinematography was enjoyably scary.
 
it sucked...and to top it off,the dude was dead throughout the entire movie, it was just his ghost that were were seeing the whole time....

SPOILER* - Are you talking about the scene where he's cutting his foot off ? It did feel out of place... the music and the way they shot the scene.

no, I understood why he cut off his foot, but I think the acting he did afterwards was sh!t. He was going psycho cause he didnt want his wife and kid to die, so he cut off his foot to get the gun

yeah
out of place and lame ass acting too, I mean think about cutting through the bone and the achilles tendon
give me a freakin break.
 
i thought the story was well done, but there were some discrepencies with character behavior between the scenes. The "foot" scene did kind of come out of nowhere to me. He was on the phone, hung up, and then all of the sudden the phone was out of reach so he cut off his foot to reach it. Ahem, if he was any sort of smart the phone would have been right by him, thereby negating the need to cut off one's foot to reach it. Little logic things like that always bug the crap out of me in movies. It's almost as if they just wanted to show a gruesome, self-mutilation scene and that seemed like the easiest way to throw it in there....

Weird ending though, I was freaked out when I saw the guy get up and stuff. YIKES!

:::SPOILZ:::

He quickly began turning an increasingly fainter shade of purple. He ended up hobbling away on his one leg to get help just before we realize that the body is the deseased Jigsaw. I was under the impression that he'd either die on route, or be tracked down by Jigsaw.
