It was one of those movies where I am laughing one second, and the next I am cringing (or laughing and cringing at the same time). I really, really wanted to like Saw. There were some really cool things for me, and some real letdowns. I thought the plot and theme of the movie were really cool. Some of the ideas that the "bad guy" used were done before, but Saw pulled it off very well. There were parts where I really wanted the victim to make it, which I rarely feel in a movie like this. The killer was pretty original, and probably the best one since Buffalo Bob in Silence of the Lambs. There was some crap though. The main issue was the acting. Cary Elwes (Wesley from The Princess Bride) was one of the main characters. He has made me laugh in every comedy he has been in... But he made me laugh harder in Saw. He is not very well suited to the high intensity horror type of movie. Many people in the theater were cracking up at him in parts that should have been very dramatic and serious. Also, Danny Glover wasn't his best. [SPOILER]He isn't very convincing as an insane person...[/SPOILER] The other actors were just so-so. Surprisingly, the child actor was one of the best, which is pretty rare.[SPOILER]The twist ending was really cool, but a little abrupt.[/SPOILER]Outside of the cheesy acting and the weird dialog, Saw was a pretty cool movie. Definitely worth the money for the ticket, though don't expect the next great serial killer movie like "Seven" or "Silence of the Lambs".Anyone else seen it? Any thoughts?</blockquote>
