Saw: Blood, guts and torture porn …

At any rate, suffice to say, I’ve got the weekend off, so to try and do something productive … ?

Saw opens by showing us two men — oncologist, Lawrence Gordon, played by Cary Elwes, and photographer Adam Faulkner-Stanheight, played by Leigh Whannell — trapped in what appear to be an industrial bathroom: with each chained to pipes on opposite sides of the room.

They’ve been kidnapped.

And been given instructions by their kidnapperª — on dictaphone — to kill the other, within six hours.

Going by the very new clock on the wall, that’s visible to both.
