DVD Reviews of Saw III (Unrated Full Screen Edition)
DVD Review: Time For a Change?
Summary: 4 Stars
I guess the most common question is, is Saw 3 better than the first two? I don't think there's a clear-cut answer to that. In some ways, I think the third film surpassed the first two. I thought it was more consistent and coherent in it's film-long development. I thought the suprise ending was done very well (for what it was). The movie presented a slightly more sophisticated set of ethical dilemmas this time.
On the other hand, there were some areas where I felt the film was lacking compared to the first couple. First, the actual kills are starting to lose their effectiveness. There is still tension, gore, and innovation in the tortureous situations. But the emotional and cognitive impact is somewhat diminished, IMO. I think we've gotten to the point where the killings will continue to diminish in effectiveness, unless we are given some type of substantial back story for the character that lets us connect with them, and the kill is either very prolonged (to add gut-wrenching tension) or very quick (for a shocking effect).
Another issue that I had with the film is that I found the reasoning of Jigsaw to be somewhat hypocritical. Jigsaw chided Amanda for her senseless killing, since her traps were unwinnable. This seems strange to me, in two ways. First, apparently it wasn't the actual loss of innocent lives that Jigsaw had a problem with, but just that Amanda's methods weren't the same as his. Murder is fine for Jigsaw, you just have to give the people a minute chance of survival. That's quite an ethical hair to split. Another problem I have with this is that Jigsaw allowed Amanda to set up the traps and kill the people just as a set up for a test. If Jigsaw was so against Amanda's methods, couldn't he have tested her while only making her *think* that her methods were being employed?
In any event, whatever I feel the short comings to be, I'd still say that this was a good movie for anyone who enjoys the horror genre. It seems that some changes will take place in the next Saw, and I have to admit that they've gotten me curious about where they are planning to go.
