The film commences with an unconscious man in a bath tub - upon awakening the man thrashes in the tub and the water is drained as the plug is pulled - taking a flash lifght with it. he then hears a voice, and as the room is illuminated there is a man at the opposite end - Dr Lawrence Gordon. The male in the bath is a photographer named Alan Faulkner. In the centre of the room is a bloody corpse with a tape recorder in one hand and a pistol in th other....

Both men discover envelopes in their pockets, and Dr Gordon's pocket also contain a bullet and a key. The tape recorder gives way to an ominous voice telling Adam that he will need to make choices and fend for himself if he wants to free himself from the room, and for Dr Gordon there is an ultimatum - kill Adam within a specific time or his family will die.

the end of the tape reveals a cryptic message, and before long the twomen have discovered something else - two rusty saws...The Dr is aware that they are the victim sof the notorious Jigsaw killer. The film reveals some of Jigsaw past victims...one being Paul, a man who craves attention and so attempts to commit suicide by slashing his wrists. Jigsaw's "game" is that Paul is intricately trapped in a razor wire maze, stripped of his most of his clothes, and a door at the other end of the room that is set on a timer to close at 3pm (the time when Paul wakes up is 1:04pm). Jigsaw says that if he wants to die, he can just remain in the place he started, but if he wants to live, he will "have to cut [himself] again." Paul attempts to escape, but ends dying of massive blood loss

However there is one victim who survived...Amanda Young...she informs the police that she narrowly escaped his game and that his games are designed to help people appreiate life. And what of the Police...are they sitting idly by or are they hot on this maniacs tail???

Within all the intracies of Jigsaw's game the two men battle to survive, and attempt to outwit Jigsaw. However their captor is too clever and always seems to be one step ahead. As the film progresses we learn of a link between the two men. Things get worse for the Dr when his wife phones him up, and there are many more twists and turns in the film. This I feel is one of the better contemporary 'horror films' and is well worth the watch, if for nothing more that the intracacy of the games.
