Advantages: Original Thriller/Horror story line Disadvantages: Some of the acting is terrible and some of the plot doesn't quite fit well.
I'm sure you've all seen those billboards that seem to be displaying Saw posters all over the ship. "Dare you seeSaw?" they question. Well, I'm always up for a dare, and to be honest there's nothing I like better than a good, scary movie, so I was quite keen to check this movie out. After seeing the trailor for it at the cinema I was sold, and so trotted off with some friends to watch it.
First of all, the title will provide you with hours of hilarity as you stand around prodding your friends and asking if they want to "SeeSaw". SeeSaw, see-saw...get it?

Advantages: Mostly Original,Straight to the Action,Good Ending Disadvantages: A Few Copied Ideas from previous Movies,Bad Shots
Went to Leicester Square to see 'Layer Cake' but was a little late,looked down the list,only other decentthing available was 'Saw'.I Occassionally go to Leicester Square on my own to watch a Good Film as 1.My Wife hates Blood and Gore,2.Lots of Screenings to choose from,3.Always plenty of room during Weekdays,4.Tour round London for the day on My Travelcard!
Anyway, to the Film.What i immediately liked was we were straight into the Movie,no slow starts,getting to know the Characters,Straight In.It immediately captures the Imagination and you are trying to suss out what the hell is going on.
The Characters are believable,The Main Villain is a very Clever and Strong Man with good Original 'Game Ideas'.The Background story is Good,with plenty of turns,once you think you understand,the plot will throw something else in the pot. I just ...
