Saw III(2006 / R)
Jeff is an anguished man, who grieves and misses his young son that was killed by a driver in a car accident. He has become obsessed for revenge against the man and reckless with his wife and daughter. When Dr. Lynn Denlon, who has troubles with her marriage, is abducted by the deranged Jigsaw's apprentice Amanda, she is brought to a gruesome warehouse to keep John Kramer alive in spite of having a terminal brain tumor. Amanda puts a necklace gadget full of explosives around Dr. Lynn's neck connected to John Kramer's life support system, and tells her that if he dies the device will explode. Meanwhile, Jeff is submitted to a sick game of forgiveness with surprising dark consequences. (imdb.com)
I was told that this franchise kept getting worse and worse... I actually liked this third chapter quite a bit. I definitely liked it more than the 2nd one. I felt the whole forgiveness aspect gave the movie a little bit of a unique twist that helped it keep the whole "wanna play a game" / jigsaw concept from going stale. The timeline seems to get a little bit confusing, and that was somewhat annoying... but all in all this was a step up from the previous effort...on par with the first movie even.
