This was what SAW should have been....


This movie was a heck of a lot better than I thought it would be and it runs absolute circles around the terrible first movie with John Cena.

Orton actually can act and fit the role quite well.

The thing that really stood out with this film was that at first it was like "Oh this is another bad guy... can't wait to see Orton drop this fool with an overkill death". However, as the movie went on it became apparent that it was actually trying to say something.

Even more than that was the fact that this movie was very similar to SAW and Law Abiding Citizen, except it -- for some reason -- seemed a little more sympathetic to the way things unfolded so the lines of good/bad were blurred with plenty of gray.

I actually really liked this movie and hopefully it'll find a nice audience over time.

It had elements of SAW but it was still morally dubious. Orton's character was an innocent.

Its that man again!!
