Thoughts Before Viewing: Besides opening weekend, I don’t know if I've ever seen this one again. I can remember all the traps (who can forget the pit of needles?). I was a fan of this movie mostly because it was our first real taste of Jigsaw. The calm, cool, collected Jigsaw that tells people exactly what they have to do to survive (or save a loved one)... of course none of them ever do and thank God they don’t, because that would make for some boring ass movies.
Thoughts After Viewing: As soon as the Spanish guy was on my screen, I remembered some of the things I didn’t like about the movie the first time I saw it, mainly him. I understand he’s supposed to be crazy, but man, he’s a little too over the top even for me. Him aside, I still enjoyed the movie. The traps were great and the big twist ending that the game has already happened along with Amanda being in on it was great.
Total Movie: 431
