Jigsaw didn't have the right.

He played God when he had no right. Yes those selfish unlikable people in ALL the Saw movies didn't appreciate their lives, but what has it got to do with you? Someone needed to tell Jigsaw that because he took it upon himself to teach these people (who he doesn't even know) a lesson.

Bottom line whether they appreciate their lives or not, it's between them and God. Same thing with the awful flick "Phone Booth" a person forces someone to admit their wrong ways, that's not your choice, it's up to God to handle them. I know "Phone Booth" isn't the same as this film, but the bad guys have a similar motive.

It'd be one thing if he was doing this to legit scumbags like muggers, gangbangers, rapists, truly immoral people. But what the hell were Adam & Dr. Gordon's sins? Adam had a sleazy job and Dr. Gordon cheated on his wife, you're telling me these men deserve to be kidnapped, tortured beyond belief and DIE for these actions lol?

I agree completely, but then that's part of the horror.

I think before it was intended for sequels, that this movie was intended to represent Jigsaw as being more an anti-social and true serial killer (they usually have no regard what so ever) as he put a lot innocent people at DIRECT risk (the guy in the drill chair, Alison and Diana, guy with the key in his stomach, slashing Tapp's throat and having Sing with his head blown off in a booby trap), the sequels rewrite him to be more caring about people's lives. But still, he is a quite a bit twisted in the sequels.

Very twisted.

Of course he didn't. That's the thing with "righteous" killers (that is, killers who are trying to make a point or teach people a lesson): they act as though they've been anointed and have the authority to exact their own version of morality onto others.
