As SAW III begins, Jigsaw’s health is failing and he is preparing his adoring acolyte, Amanda, to carry on his work. Amanda has designed numerous games herself, building various horrendous contraptions to test the survival instincts of her victims. A very important game involves a brain surgeon, Lynn (Bahar Soomekh), who is forced to operate on the dying man. Meanwhile, in another section of Jigsaw’s lair, a grieving father, Jeff (Angus Macfadyen) is given the barbed opportunity to fulfill his dreams of revenge. Like so many before him, Jeff lives down to Jigsaw’s expectations... with dire consequences for the people he loves. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

A monstrous screenwriting construct that brings nothing new and unnecessarily (!) dissects the previous two films. The plot, if there is such a thing here, is uncontrollable chaos, culminating in dull direction that gives us one amazing trap design after another. The result is self-serving crap, which doesn't excite (most of the tasks in the first film) or disgust you with its cruelty (the syringes in the second film) and is thus very boring or annoying, e.g., the absolutely demented behavior of most of the characters. They need to come up with an original idea or the series may soon be cut short - although, I had this feeling at the end of the second film.

Please, let there be no more episodes, otherwise it will something without any fun or common sense on the screen. The third episode is as bad as it can be, the actors are bad, there’s zero creativity, excessive senseless violence, nastiness, repulsiveness, perversity – everything even more nasty, repulsive, and perverse than in the previous two episodes combined. This is, of course, understandable, because otherwise there’d be nothing captivating in this embarrassing mess. The attractive premise was immediately exhausted in the (already not very good) first episode, and the subsequent episodes are purely money grabbers. And the sad thing is that they can earn quite a lot of money, while the quality is absolutely zero.

Mixed feelings. As a disgusting showcase of human pain, it works great and the plot around the vengeful and disgraced father enriches the story and also the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the filmmakers wanted something more, and so as the minutes ticked by, they irreversibly go deeper and deeper into a scenario so overstuffed and unrealistic that I didn't even want to believe it at the end. On the one hand, I admire the desire to make this bloody series as unpredictable and convoluted as possible, but what worked in the ending of the first film is already hitting you in the eyes in the third, not only with ridiculous exaggeration and would-be effects, but mainly with directorial infantilism and a fragmented narrative structure that is as chaotic and disjointed as the script itself, while the formal rip-off of the first part seems very unconvincing at times. If it were limited only to Daddy, it would be a routine but very intense horror treat for connoisseurs, given the bold brutality, but this way it’s rather a work worthy of a slightly disgusted ironic smirk. Even a game has its limits. 45%

I'm starting to lose interest in the saga. The music video style with really awful editing doesn't help much. Tobin Bell is great again, but otherwise, the third installment doesn't bring anything new. Hopefully, the creators hadn't exhausted all their ideas in the first film. The concept still has a lot to offer. So, we'll see. :) For me, the third film gets a weak 4/10.

In terms of the plot, it has value as a continuation; in terms of quality, it is about the level of the second installment. And yet all it would have taken was slightly less gratuitousness, brutality, and blood, and it easily could have been the climax of the series. The cases of random victims only disrupt the story, because the ideas have diminished and the desire has increased to give the torture victim the most effective death possible. Fortunately, the main storyline is able to deviate from the previous installments and tries in an admittedly predictable ending to bring a reveal that fortunately seeks not only to shock you but also to show you something more from the relationship aspect of things. It's just a pity that the hints of open endings are now smelling like a dead end.
