Dueling it out with last week's box-office champion, Grudge, for Halloween attention, Saw, starring Danny Glover, Cary Elwes, and Leigh Whannell, is being cut down by most critics. "A gore movie with no teeth," is the way Jamie Bernard describes it in the New York Daily News. "A bloody mess" is V.A. Musetto's description of it in the New York Post. Jan Stuart in Newsday says that the film is "so giddily pumped up with nasty hormones, you can't help but dissolve into laughter at the same time as you are hiding your eyes." Gary Dowell of the Dallas Morning News dismisses it as "a grisly thriller that plays like a bargain-basement rehash of other, better movies." The film does manage to evoke a few positive comments from a handful of reviewers -- sort of. Robert K. Elder in the Chicago Tribune remarks that the movie "is oddly satisfying, though the gag reflex never entirely goes away." Bob Strauss in the Los Angeles Daily News suggests that the movie is "well put together until you start thinking about it. And Bruce Westbrook in the Houston Chronicle advises, "If you see Saw, scorn popcorn. This grisly little movie may kill your appetite -- but not your interest." |
