Amazon.com: The first Saw picture actually had an idea behind it, to say nothing of the ingenuity of its low-budget production; making a silk purse out of a bloody, maggot-ridden human ear, as it were. With Saw III, the franchise pretty much settles into gore for gore's sake, as it explores newer and better ways to traumatize the body--and the audience. Events from Saw II are sewn up at the beginning of the film, and a detective on the trail of mad killer Jigsaw is quickly trussed up and subjected to one of the villain's sadistic games (this one has escape possible only by means of a key sitting in the bottom of a beaker of acid). Then we catch up with Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) himself, as he awaits death from his debilitating illness; once again he's tended by helper Shawnee Smith. The movie follows parallel plots: Jigsaw blackmails a doctor (Bahar Soomekh) into keeping him alive, and tortures a vengeful soul (Angus Macfayden) into recognizing the futility of revenge. Original Saw creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell worked on the script of this one, and it fully buys into the series mythology, referring backwards to previous events and, for all we know, preparing us for future installments. But if future installments are as pointlessly repugnant as this one, there's not much to look forward to. --Robert Horton

Rating: - Saw 3 times as disturbing
The Saw series keeps movin right along, and fairly well I might add. Though there is some greatness about the first Saw that gets a little lost in each of the sequals, there is more that is added too. In the case of Saw 3, I must say the scenerios ... Read More
Rating: - Pretty bloody good, for beating a dead horse (or pig)
As far as just being a movie, this one isn't bad...much better than Saw 2 but nowhere near as good as the original. As I mentioned in previous reviews, this franchise has a built-in limited shelf life. There is only so much you can drag out a series ... Read More
