Saw III (2006)
"I want to play a game," says the serial killer dubbed "Jigsaw" to those who are unfortunate enough to cross his path. However, this time around he doesn't have as many victims and the games are few and far between.
While this movie is suspenseful at times it isn't nearly what its two predessors were. Jigsaw, played by Tobin Bell, becomes ill and with help from his sidekick, played by Shawnee Smith (receptionist from the TV series "Becker"), kidnaps a doctor, played by Bahar Soomekh, to operate on him while at the same time a kidnapped father, played by Angus Macfadyen, who recently lost his child to a hit and run driver is made to run the gaultet of Jigsaw's games in order to find his child's killer.
Missing from this movie are many of the games that Jigsaw is notorious for. The Key behind the eye or in the stomach of someone else making the person choose between pain and mutilation or life.
If you've seen the first two Saw movies, then you'll have to see this one as well. If you have not seen at least the first Saw movie, you might be at a loss as to what's happening and why.
