Movie Review: Saw III - Page 3

I have one issue on the technical side, and that is the editing. Enough with the quick movie video cuts! I've had enough and they are giving me a headache. Please, slow some of the cuts down and let us get a better look at what you are showing us. Who knows? Maybe letting us actually see the terror would have a better effect than cutting around it and implying it in those fast moving scenes of blood. More like the skullcap sequence, which had me squirming in my seat.

The good thing about the series is the continuity in the creative department. Darren Lynn Bousman returns to direct, after doing the second in the series. Also, James Wan and Leigh Whannell return for story and screenplay duties. It is always good to have some sort of sameness on that end.

Bottomline. The beginning seemed a little rushed to get by some prior characters, but once it settles down, it is actually quite interesting. It does deliver the twisted goods, which is always a good thing. This is one to see with a large group on the big screen.

Recommended.
