Viewing Notes

Of all the SAW films I own this is the only one I couldn’t find. Thankfully they’re all on Prime. Also wasn’t going to revisit this one bc I had recently seen it in theater… but it turns out that was in 2014 for the 10 year anniversary. Guess the movie is that effective and memorable that I honestly thought I watched it in 2019 or something.

Anyways, a good revisit for a taunt mystery thriller that really is a marvel of plate balancing all the subplots. The overacting didn’t bother me on this viewing.
