Saw

SAW (2004) - Nov. 6, 2004
A sort of cross between Seven and Cube. Though not really as good as either of those films, it was still pretty good. Danny Glover was good as a grizzled cop obsessed with catching the killer, Jigsaw. Cary Elwes was a little over-the-top as one of Jigsaw's victims, and in fact the occasional hamminess of his performance illicited some inappropriate laughter from the audience I saw it with. Though the film was perhaps not quite as good as I thought it would be (I would have preferred more of the stuff with the two guys in the room and less flashbacks), it was certainly entertaining all the way through and pretty suspenseful at times. ***
