... which focuses more on Jigsaw, the key component to the story. Demonstrations of Jigsaw's past victims are exposed, giving a quick incite into his inner workings and sadistic motives. Each one shows the victims' struggle to survive. We finally see how warped of a mind our killer actually has. The fate of each game is closely based upon why that person is currently in the given predicament. The killer never physically kills his victims; they usually wind up killing themselves. Intriguing?

The scene now moves to a flashback of the Hospital where Dr. Lawrence works. He is soon being questioned about his whereabouts the night before by two officers of the law. He is brought into a room where he meets Amanda, the first victim ever to solve Jigsaw's puzzle, and escape her imminent doom.
Back to the action in the bathroom! Adam and Dr. Lawrence start to figure out, and remember, more details about how they arrived in this sick game. While the majority of this film takes place in this disgusting bathroom, there is more that happens outside the stalls' walls.
The best part about the film is how detailed and intricate each game is designed. Every aspect of every trap Jigsaw sets has been pre-determined and pre-thought out. There is no way out of any situation unless the victims fight their ultimate fear.
My final thoughts about this film were, "Go see Saw!" This is not your ordinary horror flick. It's an intense thriller built upon a completely substantial creative process. It keeps you thinking, guessing, and wanting more. Luckily there are three more sequels to this movie, with each one revolving around its predecessor. I suggest you go rent this film today if you are in the mood for something different.
