Saw III is a 2006 horror movie and the third installment in the popular Saw franchise. The movie follows the twisted plans of the infamous Jigsaw Killer, a man obsessed with teaching his victims the value of life by putting them through incredibly torturous traps. The main cast of the movie includes Tobin Bell as Jigsaw, Shawnee Smith as Amanda Young, and Angus Macfadyen as Jeff Denlon. The movie kicks off in typical Saw fashion, with a new victim waking up to find themselves trapped in one of Jigsaw's traps. In this case, the victim is Jeff Denlon, a man with a dark past that Jigsaw feels needs to be redeemed.

As Jeff struggles to escape his trap, Jigsaw's protege Amanda Young sets out to kidnap Dr. Lynn Denlon, a successful surgeon, to help take care of Jigsaw, who is dying from a malignant brain tumor. Jigsaw has carefully crafted a series of traps that Dr. Denlon must navigate if she wants to save her own life and that of her family.

As the two storylines progress, it becomes clear that Jigsaw's motivations are more complex than just causing pain and suffering. He sees himself as a teacher, and in his own twisted way, he believes that his victims can learn and grow from their ordeal.

Saw III delivers on the level of gore and brutal violence that the franchise is known for. A lot of the traps are jaw-droppingly gruesome, involving various body parts being ripped apart, punctured, or torn off. The makeup and special effects are top-notch, which only elevates the horror level of the movie.

What sets Saw III apart from the previous two movies is its focus on character development. While the previous movies had some characterization, they were mainly vehicles for the traps and the gore. In Saw III, we get to know Jeff, Amanda, and Jigsaw on a much deeper level. Their motivations and pasts are explored, which makes their journeys through the traps all the more compelling.

Another standout feature of Saw III is its use of non-linear storytelling. The movie jumps around in time, showing us snippets of the past and present that slowly come together to reveal a larger picture. This approach keeps the audience engaged and guessing, as they try to piece together the puzzle that Jigsaw has laid out for them.

The acting in Saw III is excellent across the board. Tobin Bell is especially great as Jigsaw, bringing a quiet intensity and intelligence to the character. Shawnee Smith is also impressive as Amanda, conveying a sense of desperation and conflict as she struggles to carry out Jigsaw's plans.

Overall, Saw III is a worthy addition to the franchise that pushes the boundaries of horror and delivers on both the gore and character development fronts. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the series or just looking for a good scare, Saw III is definitely worth a watch.

Saw III is a 2006 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 47 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.2 and a MetaScore of 48.
