Fun Facts: Editor Steve Forner got an unexpected visit from the LAPD while editing the ‘Eye Vacuum’ scene.

The film takes place between ‘Saw’ and ‘Saw 2’

This is the first Saw movie to get a ‘fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

This is also the first Saw movie to not feature a cop plot.

Summary: Jigsaw aka John Kramer travels to Mexico, hoping to get his cancer removed, but once he discovered that the operation was a scam, I’m gonna say…the con men will soon wish they never scammed the infamous Jigsaw.

The One Liner Review: While the other Saw films has a Trap/Cop plot, this one is the first of the franchise to actually tell a story and actually focus on Jigsaw, but don’t worry, the traps are still here and gory as ever.
