    • Goofs
      (at around 59 mins) After Lawrence and Adam find the box with the cellphone and cigarettes, Lawrence tries to call 911. Three different tones can be heard and he says that the cellphone has been blocked from making calls. However, FCC rules require every telephone that can access the network to be able to dial 911, regardless of any reason that normal service may have been disconnected (including deactivated or blocked phones).

    Game Over !

    One of the best movies I've watched. I didn't get any spoilers while watching this movie and the ending was devastating.

    The tension was perfect and you are looking forward to the end.

    Soundtrack is one of the best. I always watch it, even if the series gets worse as it goes.

    FAQ33

    • How long is Saw?Powered by Alexa
    • How did Jigsaw ever meet Adam? Clearly, Jigsaw's victims are people he once met and felt they are not taking life seriously or are ungrateful, such as Dr. Gordon or Zep. How did Jigsaw ever meet Adam if they met off screen?
    • How does Jigsaw plan his traps?
    • Was saw based on real events?
