the first and only time i saw Saw was with a friend who also hadnt seen it
througout the movie i said outloud
"let me guess the guy on the floor is probably alive and is gonna kill them"... this was a sarcastic comment since movies in their attempt to be unpredictable become just that - predictable.

Someone who thinks like me, there were a few films which had twist endings back in the day like No Way Out, but then came The Usual Suspects, The Crying Game and of course, the elephant, The Sixth Sense. Since then filmmakers trip over themselves trying to create the twist ending. Jeez, every episode of CSI has the least likely suspect being the actual murderer which is why I gave up watching long ago. I miss the refreshing straightforward detective story where the journey to finding the guilty is more exciting than discovering who it is.
That's the problem with Hollywood today. It's so copycat and formulaic with the movies it puts out.
Saw 2 does have some of the most disturbing scenes ever in a mainstream film though, if you like that sort of thing.
