Saw Movie
In this pulse-pounding thriller, photographer Adam (Leigh Whannell) and Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) find themselves in a deadly predicament when they wake up in a large industrial bathroom, chained by their ankles to rusty pipes at opposite corners. Between them is a dead man lying in a pool of blood with a gun in his hand. Neither man knows how they got there and how to get out of the dank chamber alive. Recalling a recent murder investigation by Detectives David Tapp (Danny Glover) and Steve Sing (Ken Leung), Dr. Gordon realizes that their captor is a serial killer known as "Jigsaw" (Tobin Bell) due to his bizarre calling card. The torturer leaves his victims impaled on the horns of a dilemma: to die or to kill another person. This time, the doctor must kill Adam within 8 hours. Else the psychopathic genius will kill both him and Adam; Lawrence's wife Alison (Monica Potter) and his daughter Diana (Makenzie Vega) will also be killed...
