The 3rd film in the Saw franchise is where a we get a more action packed and has some of saws best and it's unique telling of the events from the prevous 2 movies we also see how amanda was trained in the art of jigsaw and how she became crazy. the cast is Tobin Bell,Shawnee Smith,Angus Macfadyen,Bahar Soomekh, Donnie Wahlberg,Dina Meyer,Leigh Whannell,Mpho Koahok,Lyriq Bent, and Costas Mandylor by far they are the best cast of villians and those that are being tested by jigsaw and the traps are more complex and cool and wether they are investgating or in the traps. By far one of the best of the series you have to admit with off the twists and turns that happen they are always following along with the classic feel of saw movie this one has to be the best in the series and nothing can compare to this one in the series.

"Saw III" brings back the Jigsaw killer, this time so weak that he has to kidnap a doctor to keep him alive while his obsessed assistant prepares a final game with a man who lost everything when his son got killed during a car accident and seeks revenge for it.Unfortunately, this part is not nearly as good as the first two have been. It is still a solid movie, don't get me wrong, but it feels a bit like the producers are desperately trying to bring in elements of surprise which doesn't work out as well as it did before. Instead, there are several backflashs that make it sometimes hard to keep up with the story and the stringency that was a center-piece of the first two parts, goes missing at least partly. What you get is still a dark and sinister thriller that keeps you entertained but it sometimes tries to hard to be a Saw movie.All in all you do nothing wrong by giving this a try but you should know that you can't expect something as carefully balanced as the other parts of the series.

Filmed on a bigger budget yet lacking the creativity that made the original click so well, the third instalment in the Saw series takes the usual elements of its predecessors and magnifies it by an extent but the end result is still the same old story as before and remains on par with the second entry.Saw III covers two story lines that merge in the end. The first concerns an anguished man who's put through a series of "tests", each meant to bring him closer to the person responsible for the death of his son. The second follows Jigsaw who has his apprentice kidnap a doctor and instructs her to keep him alive for one final test.Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, Saw III is virtually the same stuff all over again and even though there is an attempt to bring an emotional dimension into the story, it doesn't really stick for long. It does crank up the voltage though when it comes to violence n gore and is more stomach-churning than its predecessors but that's expected.The flashbacks cover the backstories of Jigsaw & his apprentice as well as their time together but there are so many of them that it disrupts with the narrative flow and kills the tension more times than one. Performances stay on same level as before with Tobin Bell again doing a pretty neat job while the rest just chip in with fine supporting work.On an overall scale, Saw III features a plot that's more far-fetched than the last time but still packs enough brutality to satisfy those who especially came looking for it. The discrepancies caused by its constantly shifting focus & irregular pacing do result in a fractured narrative that's only effective in bits n pieces but in the end, it suffices as a serviceable sequel, if not a rewarding one.

Well, Robert the Bruce is our hero, Donnie Wahlberg escapes...kind of, Amanda goes even more bug eyes crazy and Jigsaw buys the farm in this third Saw movie, that is vast improvement over the second installment and benefits even more from the viewer not thinking too hard about what's happening.We begin with Detective Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg), showing considerably more intelligence than Doctor "I'm-going-to-saw-my-foot-off-with-a-hacksaw" Gordon from the original, breaking his foot in order to get it out of the chain that's holding him. He limps down the hallway and... into oblivion apparently because the film fast forwards six months and not a soul has seen him in that time (this is explained in the next film).Jigsaw has returned and he would appear to have changed his method and is now setting unwinnable traps to torture people to their inevitable demise. For instance, some poor unfortunate has to pull out chains that are attached to his body in order to escape a bomb, but even if he had got the chains loose, the door was welded shut. At the crime scene we get reacquainted with Matthews' former partner Detective Allison Kerry who is inspecting the crime scene with her new partner Mark Hoffman (Costas Mandylor of Picket Fences "fame"). We feel kind of sorry for Kerry as mopes around all depressed about Matthews' disappearance. I wonder if the story will give us more insight into this interesting character who's been around since the first film of the series? Of course not! She gets abducted from her house and gets killed by another unwinnable trap, having her rib cage torn off after burning her hand in acid. We find out it's Amanda (Shawnee Smith) who's setting these unwinnable traps and...Good Lord. I'm already three paragraphs in. Better wind this up.OK, a doctor, Lynn Denlon, who has marriage issues revealed in a conversation with a man who "wants a divorce," is abducted from the hospital and wakes up with a bomb strapped to a collar on her neck that's going to blow up if Jigsaw dies before another victim finishes their test. The other victim is Jeff, a man who lost his son in a drink driving accident 3 years ago and became bitter and damaged, leading to him neglecting his daughter and all but leaving his wife. Jeff is going to have to learn to forgive as part of his test and at the end he will meet "the man responsible for the death of his child." So Jeff has to forgive a silent witness who never came forward at the trial of the drunk driver (try not to think about how stupid that is, unless Jigsaw is either telepathic or God), the judge who let the driver off lightly, and of course the driver himself. His results are mixed to say the least, but he does take the opportunity to forgive the driver. Mission accomplished I guess.In the meantime Amanda is acting more and more crazy as Lynn struggles to keep Jigsaw alive. Then we get two twists. Firstly Lynn is Jeff's wife, the man at the start who "wanted a divorce" was her lover. Secondly, this is also Amanda's test. He wanted to see if she was willing to let people live, which she isn't as she first refuses to take the collar off Lynn and then shoots her, just as Jeff comes in, who takes out Amanda with one bullet. Then we get another twist as Jeff, remembering that this movie is called saw, slices Jigsaw's throat with a power saw, killing him, but not before he plays one last game from his little tape recorder. Remember how Jigsaw told Jeff he would "meet the man responsible for the death of his child?" Well he wasn't talking about the drunk driver who ran over his son, he was talking about himself and the fact he had kidnapped Jeff's daughter and was the only person who knew where she was. Good one Jeff. You can forgive the man who killed your son, but you can't stop yourself from slicing the throat of a dying man and now your daughter's going to die. As Jigsaw dies, the collar on Lynn's neck detonates, and Jeff's left to freak out just like Adam and Matthews in the first two films as credits role.Of all the Saw movies, this probably has the victim I sympathize with the most in Jeff (Braveheart's Angus McFayden). Jeff is probably the best realized character in the whole Saw series apart from Jigsaw himself. I also for the first time was able to somewhat buy into Jigsaw's method. Jeff is being taught a positive lesson. For the first time I wonder of maybe Jigsaw is more than a crazy wannabe zen master who gets kicks out of torturing people to death and uses the delusion he's teaching people life lessons to justify it. However, that good will is lost at film's end. The last 5 minutes seriously just kills it. The guy learns nothing. Jigsaw is a very bad teacher with a very ineffective method.Saw 3 is a relatively satisfying film, and, in spite of all the threads left hanging, comes the closest of the sequels to standing up as a film in its own right. This was the last installment still involving the original creative team of Wan and Whannell, and I think they were probably expecting the people they handed the ball off to, to run a lot more creatively with it than they do.
