Watched the movie Saw last night. Or rather, I saw Saw. I heard a lot of good things about this flick, so I was kind of excited to see it. I won’t “Eileen” this movie for anyone, but I will say that I didn’t really think it was that good. The movie was pretty good, but the last 20 minutes kind of killed it for me. The ending is what everyone talks about, and it’s pretty much the only reason that I didn’t like the flick. Well, there are a few other things that piss me off about it, but I can’t say without giving the movie away.

I will comment on the acting though. Cary Elwes was absolutely terrible. I don’t hate him as an actor at all, but he was so bad in this film that people that don’t even look for that kind of thing in movies will recognize it. It really was that bad of a performance. The movie was shot in only 18 days. Pretty cool. But also, pretty apparent. They could have used some extra takes on the particularly bad parts.

All in all, there was some cool things about this movie. But the ending just seemed lazy to me, enough to ruin what could have been a decent film. Maybe for Saw 2, which is already in pre-production, they should take a little longer to pop the movie out.
