( this review do not necessarily expose the plot of the movie and however it may change one expectation of the movie and thus make for a less enjoyable experience . ) ever rent a scary movie and expect to be on the edge of your seat in fear and and instead end up howl in laughter at each and every stupid turn of the plot . this movie have so many opportunity to impress and actually scare the viewer . it be cut poorly and jump around too much while make reference to the past seem more like excuse a to why the plot be head in it particular direction . the writer must not have think about how the potentially excellent plot should have be carry out and because the poor construction of time throughout the plot be discourage to the viewer and make the movie increasingly tire to watch . almost bad than the writer have abuse what could have be an excellent and classic thriller be the fact that it gradually rely on cheap tactic for a scare . the act do not make it scary and and the situation hardly make it scary and therefore it need a few dark scene with thing jump out at you to make it worthwhile . even those be predictable . not even the gore could have save the plot and and it rival the gore of the successful thriller se7en . speaking of se7en and i feel like saw try to follow se7en incredibly fascinate psychological theme and but fail miserably in do so . i be terribly disappoint in the lack of analysis and plot structure surround the psychology of the killer . the beginning scene tease the viewer into think that this be a psychological thriller while believe me and it be far from that . oh and do i mention poor acting . at first and cary elwes seem make a convincing performance while however and this completely deteriorate at the most crucial part of the plot . i be leave in tear of laughter at this performance and which be worthy of a razzie . the performance of leigh whannell be also terrible and too play out and although not as bad a the performance by elwes and and the big red flag with this be that whannell be also a writer for the movie . the end of saw could never make up for have lose the entire middle of it and and that be what make it a huge failure . it be an opportunity waste and and i have no clue a to why monica potter and danny glover choose to take role in this movie . i be mad at myself for waste money on just rent it . it be definitely not worth the $ 4 and and in the future i will definitely avoid see anything have to do with elwes and whannell or james wan . the big tragedy in this be not that it lack basis to it plot and it that the great potential storyline be throw away and poor acting add insult to injury . i will avoid the poor pun involve the title and just conclude with this represent do not watch this movie .
