Save your money for something good and enjoyable

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A serial killer known as the riddle killer kills the brother of some lady cop. She almost dies as well. Not long after another guy starts getting calls for someone who gives him a riddle to solve or else, stuff and loved ones blow up. And this killer loves blowing stuff up in exaggerated explosions. First, the guy's childhood dog, then a bus full of people, and assorted buildings. The guy's childhood flame shows up to help. And the lady cop is investigating. They don't seem to get anywhere as the killer is always years ahead of them knowing everything and manipulating everything.What the killer wants is for the guy, a theology student, to confess his sins. The guy does so eventually- as a boy he was bullied by some older boy and at some point the locked him in an abandoned building, presumably killing the older boy. So the theory goes that the killer is this bully. The killer goes after his family now- an aunt who wears a tiara, an uncle who wears a funny hat and collects newspapers, cutting out all the bad news, and a slow cousin. Next he goes after the girl and then after the aunt.But then something is revealed about our guy that changes everything, then they sort of take it back, or do they? Three is an OK movie for what it is. A smart killer on the lose going after a good guy and his friends. It has a couple of smart ideas here and there, but it's too long and lacking in excitement. The twists are pretty good I must say, I didn't quite expect them, but mainly because I wasn't all that invested in the outcome.

I just watched this film with my m husband and we both loved it. I have worked with Justine Waddell and she was excellent as was the always wonderful Marc Blucas.I had heard little about this film apart from people hating it and bad reviews. What a load of rubbish. This is better than Untraceable which we both love. Like a sophisticated and grown up SawAmazing directed and kept us both on edge throughout. A tautly gripping thriller and kept us both guessing till the end. And it looked amazing too.Brian And Terry Chritmas

The word that came to mind as the curtain lowered on this opus. Unimaginative and ill-conceived, can we rip off anymore successful horror films please? Pretty please? After the first scene, I initially thought that the film was a parody; akin to the Wayans brothers' Scary Movie series. Boy, I wish that was the case. I kept waiting for the punchline to be delivered, or at least for the movie to be so schlocky that it became a cult-classic. But, this film is actually a serious attempt.. and not bad enough to be good, if that makes any sense. It's that painful kind of bad... the kind that just make you roll your eyes and wish for it to end.Saw rip off: torturing poorly written soliloquies equipped with raspy voice. Shoot reviewer in the head.Yet another multiple personality mindf**k movie (Primal Fear, Identity, fill in the blank): this one is not even close to clever.Characters aren't believable. How can you get involved in a film when you don't even care what happens to the characters. At all. Boo! Earns three stars out of the kindness of heart. Slick production and one or two mildly entertaining scenes saves it from totally blowing.

My wife and I are big fans of horror, suspense, and action/adventure movies. This film provided none of the above. According to netflix, this was a "thriller". I'm a very nit-picky person who notices everything - be it a plot hole or a minor little detail. As for being filmed in Poland - I had that feeling five minutes into the film. Unlike the Machinist (which was filmed in Spain, but took place in the USA), the different filming location did nothing other than add a layer of confusion. Due to being filmed in Europe, I can only imagine that the film makers had a very limited supply on American cars, such that you'd often see the same car in different places in the same scene (red infiniti j30) or in odd situations (the same red infiniti as a police car). When and where the film took place also confused me - none of the cars had license plates from the same state (saw Maryland, Georgia, and a DC plate) while the signs for the police department appeared to have been lifted off the set of Law & Order.Then there is the "twist" that I saw coming a mile away. As soon as I saw it - I was hoping the villain would actually be someone other than the main character. The Fight Club alter ego twist is one that is hard to do right - see Hide and Seek for another example of this concept gone horribly awry (albeit unintentionally hilarious). The utilization of the concept of Saw, with the voice from Saw, but without the creativity also made matters worse. With the main character freaking out about their dog (whom they claim to have not seen in years) and trying to save it (while trying to instill fear) was hilarious if anything. No offense to dog owners - but if someone threatened to blow up a dog I haven't seen in years - I wouldn't exactly be going out of my way - it's a freaking dog. My wife was trying to convince me that it was a person, but when it was revealed to be a dog - well that killed it for us.Unless you are a big fan of Mr. Dekker's work, have read the book, enjoy watching gratuitous poorly done explosions, or enjoy unintentionally funny movies masquerading as suspense - I would say to avoid this film. To sum it up, It is Saw with the fight club twist edited down for a G rating.
