Synopsis: A serial killer nicknamed "Jigsaw" holds two men captive. The only way out is to play the game: one man must kill the other.
It's an interesting premise with occasional and appropriate hidden cam camera work, but the dialogue was horrendous and the acting wasn't much better. Casting Dread Pirate Brad was a poor choice, and Glover could (and perhaps should) have been replaced. I will admit, however, that there were a couple of times when I wasn't necessarily scared, but definitely uncomfortable.
Added 29 October 2004 at 2:36 PMI put off watching this movie for a long time. I'd heard some things about it and I was afraid to watch. It turned out to be not as horrific as I'd feared.
I was suprised once, I laughed a couple of times (which also surprised me), some scenes were pretty gruesome, and Elwes kinda sucked. The movie had some problems but overall was worth watching.
