I thought it was certainly worth in tribute to the police and fire-fighters who risk and lost their lives during the rescuing of the aftermath of the Twin Towers. Nonetheless, it is not going to go down in the history books as a definitive movie. Worth the watch but would probably wait for the DVD.

Saw (DVD) - Ryan Moss
Saw actually celebrates life by destroying it: the serial killer shapes elaborate life or death puzzles for his victims, people who he believes are taking life for granted.
It is on that deep, dark, primitive side of human nature that Saw succeeds beautifully. Saw is a nasty, unapologetic, visceral thrill ride of unrelenting ugliness. The film immediately creates and maintains high-stakes tension from its opening scene, where two strangers, Adam and Dr. Lawrence Gordon, awaken to find themselves chained to the wall on either side of a filthy bathroom. A bloody body lies on the floor between them, as does a gun and a tape recorder. They each have a tape in their pocket - let the games begin.
For a horror movie you don’t expect to be guessing until the very end but for all of you out there that like to spoil films for yourselves by trying to guess the end or the next twist, I guarantee you won’t get this one.
The films plot flaws are not apparent while you are watching, its only afterwards while your thinking about it, alone, in the dark, checking the lock on your front door, that the things that don’t add up or were not fully explained become apparent. So you can’t count this against the film as it in no way affects how much you enjoy watching it.
