Saw III é o terceiro longa-metragem da série de horror/suspense Saw, produto da parceria dos escritores/diretores do primeiro filme, James Wan e Leigh Whannell, e o escritor/diretor do segundo filme, Darren Lynn Bousman.
O filme mantém foco no retorno de Jigsaw, o antagonista dos filmes anteriores, que trabalha com sua instável aprendiz Amanda para finalizar seus últimos testes antes de sua morte. O filme contém informações adicionais sobre a vida de ambos.
Saw III foi dedicado a Greg Hoffman, produtor dos dois primeiros filmes. Hoffman morreu em 4 de dezembro de 2005.
Enredo (Muitos Spoilers)
O filme começa imediatamente após o fim de Saw II, com o detetive Matthews escapando do banheiro onde foi preso após quebrar seu pé para se livrar de uma corrente. Outras cenas mais tarde retratam sua luta com Amanda Young, que eventualmente o vence e o abandona para morrer. Antes que ela deixe o local, Matthews a ofende diversas vezes, dizendo que ela não é nada quando comparada a Jigsaw, deixando-a visivelmente perturbada. Outras cenas mostram que Amanda já estava trabalhando com John Kramer, o Jigsaw, antes dos acontecimentos do primeiro filme, que ela foi a responsável pelo seqüestro de Adam por ordem de Jigsaw. Após os acontecimentos do primeiro filme, é revelado que ela sufocou Adam por misericórdia.
O presente do filme ocorre seis meses após a captura de Matthews; ele não foi encontrado durante esse tempo. A detetive Allison Kerry, o tenente Rigg e o agente forense Hoffman investigam o corpo de Troy, a última vítima de Jigsaw, intrigados pelo fato da armadilha não ter escapatória, o que não corresponde ao modus operandi de Jigsaw. Kerry volta para casa e é seqüestrada e colocada em uma armadilha também. Quando o método de fuga explicado falha e Amanda chega ao local, Kerry percebe que sua armadilha não pode ser desativada e morre em seguida.
Enquanto isso, Jigsaw, à beira da morte, ordena a captura de duas vítimas: Lynn Denlon, uma médica habilidosa, mas deprimida, e Jeff Reinhart, um pai tomado pelo desejo de vingança contra o motorista que atropelou e matou seu filho. Um colar com cinco cargas de escopeta, ligado ao monitoramento cardíaco de Jigsaw, é colocado em Lynn por Amanda. O teste dela é simples - manter John vivo enquanto Jeff completa seus próprios testes. Se ela tentar fugir ou deixar Jigsaw morrer, o colar vai imediatamente disparar. Jeff é conduzido através de um abatedouro abandonado, onde tem a chance de salvar três alvos de sua vingança de diversas armadilhas. Sua hesitação inicial em cada caso acaba por causar a morte de cada um deles; apesar de conseguir salvar o juíz Halden, sua tentativa de salvar o assassino de seu filho Timothy Young acaba na morte de Timothy e Halden. Após completar seus testes, Jeff continua em frente para encontrar o causador de seus sofrimentos.
Lynn tem sucesso e mantém John vivo, mas durante uma cirurgia cerebral improvisada, ele inconscientemente proclama seu amor por uma mulher de nome Jill durante um sonho. Amanda pensa que estas palavras são voltadas para Lynn. Após a operação, Lynn e John conversam em particular e é revelado que o teste de Lynn lhe despertou um novo apreço por sua vida e família.
Desiludida com as tentativas de John em mudar a perspectiva de suas vítimas, Amanda confessa que elaborou as armadilhas sem escapatórias de Troy e Kerry. Ela se recusa a libertar Lynn, apesar dos pedidos de Jigsaw, e ao invés disso, atira nas costas dela. Lynn cai nos braços de Jeff quando ele entra na sala, e o mesmo atira em Amanda com uma arma que encontrou no abatedouro, ferindo-a mortalmente no pescoço. Enquanto Amanda agoniza, John lhe diz que ela falhou no teste que ele preparou para ela: "Seu desejo será testado--seu desejo de manter alguém vivo". Estas palavras, ditas como se fossem para Lynn, tinham como alvo real Amanda, que não sabia até esse momento que Lynn e Jeff eram casados.
John agora oferece a Jeff a chance de perdoá-lo ou se vingar, já que ele é o responsável pelo sofrimento de Jeff durante o jogo. Se Jeff o perdoar, John chamaria uma ambulância para salvar Lynn. Ao dizer "eu te perdôo", Jeff pega uma serra e corta a garganta de Jigsaw, causando a detonação do colar de Lynn, que explode a cabeça dela enquanto a porta da sala fecha e se tranca. Uma fita cassete transmite a mensagem de que Jigsaw era o teste final de perdão; ao matá-lo, Jeff falhou. Além disso, John é a única pessoa que sabe onde a filha de Jeff, Corbett, está presa, e Jeff deverá passar por outro teste para encontrá-la antes que sua reserva de ar acabe. Ele então grita em desespero enquanto uma montagem de todas as armadilhas da série até o momento é mostrada. O filme acaba com a imagem de Jigsaw morto sobre a cama e o corpo sem cabeça de Lynn.

Produção
De acordo com o diretor em uma opção extra do lançamento em DVD, quase todas as transações de um lugar para outro (como a da armadilha de Kerry para o quarto de Chris, e o lar de Jigsaw para a caixa onde Jeff estava) não foram feitas com o uso de efeitos digitais. As transições foram filmadas na hora. Quando a câmera muda da cena do crime de Troy para o banheiro de Kerry, Dina Meyer teve que correr, tirar suas roupas e pular na banheira.
De acordo com Leigh Whannel, Adam tinha muito mais cenas no filme original. Uma delas era a cena entre Adam e Amanda, incluída na lista de extras do DVD.
De acordo com o produtor Daniel J. Heffner, o filme foi retocado varias vezes até obter a censura "R". O diretor Darren Lynn Bousman declarou que a banca de censura não se preocupou tanto com a violência gráfica porque programas de TV como CSI expandiram o nível de violência aceitável com suas cenas de crimes e autóspias. Bousman diz que a banca se preocupou mais com torturas emocionais que perturbam a audiência.

A armadilha de Troy tb tinha uma concepção diferente. Haveria correntes nas unhas, nas pupilas, e ele conseguiria arrancar a corrente presa à mandíbula. Mas a equipe não soube como isso seria filmado,e abandonaram a idéia.
Tb foi filmada uma cena em que Amanda matava Eric Matthews, o esfaqueando repetidas vezes. Mas foi cortada, para que ele retornasse em Saw 4.

Antes de morrer, Jigsaw aparece pingando cera numa fita cassete (seu conteúdo só será descoberto em Saw IV ); já o conteúdo da carta que Amanda encontra em seus aposentos, e que a deixa furiosa com Jigsaw, continua um mistério revelado apenas em Saw VI.
Frases Memoráveis
Jigsaw: Hello, America. Do you wanna play a game?
Jigsaw: Hello, Kerry. I want to play a game. Up until now, you have spent your life among the dead, piecing together their final moments. You're good at this because, you, like them, are also dead. Dead on the inside. You identify more with a cold corpse than you do with a living human. I believe you want to join your true family, indeed your only family... In death. The device you're wearing is hooked into your rib cage. By the time this tape is finished, you will have one minute to find a way out. At the end of that minute... You should know better than anyone, what happens then. There is a single key that will unlock the harness, Kerry. It is right in front of you. All you have to do is reach in and take it. But do it quickly, the acid will dissolve the key in a matter of seconds. Make your choice.
Eric Matthews: You're not Jigsaw, bitch!
Jigsaw: Jeff, when the judge presiding over your case sentenced your boy's murderer so lightly, your soul never recovered. Now, you have the power to sentence his soul straight to hell. Or, you could forgive. The key that will free him is hidden inside your son's possessions, possessions you have clung to for far too long. Now if you flip the switch on the incinerator underneath you, a fire will cleanse you of this obsession and destroy them all, leaving only the key remaining. It is also the key that will bring you closer to the man accountable for taking your child. He doesn't have much time, Jeff. Let the game begin.

Jigsaw: [after Amanda gets shot] Amanda... It's OK. This was your test. Your game. I was testing you. I took you in. I selected you for the honor of carrying on my life's work. But you didn't. You didn't test anyone's will to live. Instead you took away their only chance. Your games were unwinnable, your subjects merely victims. In my desperation I decided to give you one last chance. So I put everything in place. You didn't know that Lynn and Jeff were husband and wife. I had to keep that from you for the purposes of my game. I had to leave out the ruined marriage, the cheating wife, the vengeful husband, the neglected daughter and I let you make your own choices. I wanted you to succeed... You couldn't.
[Amanda begins to collapse and die]
Jigsaw: God...
[Amanda finally dies]
Jigsaw: Game over.
Jeff: I forgive you.
Jigsaw: Amanda, it's OK. This was your test... your game.
[flashback]
Jigsaw: What do I want? I want to play a game. You are being tested, your will is being tested, your will to keep someone alive. Can you do that? Can you follow the rules and grant someone the gift of life?
[flashback over]
Jigsaw: I was testing you. I took you in.
Jigsaw: And what about the other test subjects?
Amanda: What about 'em?
Jigsaw: Is that how you felt about them? Is that how you felt about Eric Matthews?
Amanda: Eric Matthews? I'll tell you how I felt about Eric Matthews. Eric Matthews learned NOTHING from your test. He was the SAME person he was and he arrested me, and he framed me when he took me DOWN!
[flashback]
Eric Matthews: Where is he, you junkie bitch? You're not Jigsaw, bitch!
Danica: I didn't do anything to you!
Jeff: That's exactly it, you didn't do anything.
Dr. Lynn Denlon: Who are you? Who are you? WHAT IS THIS? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Amanda: [casually threatens Lynn with a knife] Are you gonna behave?
Tim: What the fuck are you doing?
Jeff: [Presses play on tape recorder]
Jigsaw: Hello, Jeff. If you are listening to this, that means that the confrontation you so long dreamed of... is finally unfolding. In your head, he is a cipher. A symbol of your life changing. A symbol of death. I present him to you now, as a simple human being. His name is Timothy Young. He's 27 years old. A medical student with a mother and a father, just like you. A man who's life also changed the day your son died.
[Flashback]
Jigsaw: That day he made a terrible mistake. You believed he didn't pay for that mistake. And now is your chance to make him pay. The device Timothy is strapped to is... my personal favorite. I call it "The Rack".
Tim: [Screams]
Jigsaw: The human body is a miraculous creation. Ever wonder how far an arm can twist? This device is going to start twisting. There is a chance he might live though, with your help. To your right is a box. At the back of the box, is a key. It is tied to the trigger of a shotgun. The question you'll have to ask yourself, is this. Are you willing...
Tim: Have mercy!
Jigsaw: ...To take a bullet for the man who killed your son? Does "do on to others as you would have them do on to you" apply here, Jeff? Make your choice.
[device begins to twist]
Judge Halden: Jeff, just standing there, you're accomplice to murder. Are you a murderer Jeff?
Jeff: I've been wanting to kill him for to years.
[Timothy Young starts screaming in agony]
Jeff: Yeah. Maybe I am.
Jigsaw: Welcome to your first test, Jeff. For the past three years, you've cursed the name of all those you thought were responsible for the death of your son. You've fantasized those accountable will pay. Well, you'll find a woman in front of you chained in place. This will prevent her from running, much like she did on the day your son was hit. Her name is Danica Scott. She was the only witness present at the scene of your son's untimely demise. If not for her own self absorption and cowardice, she could have brought your son's killer to justice. Now it is you, who has a chance to bring her to justice. You alone can grant her the gift of life before she freezes to death. Behind the pipes on the back wall, you will find the key that will free her and bring you one step closer to the man responsible for the loss of your child. Will you claim the key to save only yourself? Or can you find it within you to save another? Make your choice.
Jigsaw: Hello, Jeff. I made this tape as an insurance policy, if you will. And if you're listening to it, then it's time to collect. I was your final test of forgiveness and if you're listening to this, then you've failed. Now you must pay the price. The price for living for nothing but vengeance. Now I will give you something to live for. I told you that you couldn't kill me, Jeff, but I didn't tell you why. The answer is simple. I am the person responsible for the loss of your child. I am the only person who knows where your daughter is. She only has a limited supply of air, Jeff, and if you want to get her back, you'll have to play a game.
Jeff: No!
Dr. Lynn Denlon: Jeff!
[Lynn's collar detonates]
Jigsaw: Never been better.
Troy: Help!
Jigsaw: Hello, Troy. I want to play a game. This game will take place in a room not much bigger than the room you spent most of your life in. A prison cell. Despite all of the advantages and privileges that you were given at birth, you have returned to prison again and again. More comfortable in chains than you are in freedom. Tonight, we will see how far you are willing to go to break those chains once and for all. Live or die, Troy. Make your choice.
Jigsaw: Live or die, Jeff. Make our choice.
Dr. Lynn Denlon: What do you want?
Jigsaw: I wanna play a game.
Amanda: I'm sorry. I know it's hard to concentrate when you're surrounded by so many things you could kill me with. Like this axe I saw you looking at.
[holds the axe out to Lynn]
Amanda: Take it. Please, it's yours. Come on. I go for the neck, but I'm not the brain surgeon. Just do it quietly so John doesn't hear me die. Otherwise, he is likely to get upset, rip off his heart rate monitor - boom! Then, you just have to find the sensor and disarm it so you can walk more than thirty feet out that door without the collar detonating. Or, you could try and take the collar off yourself. But that could be tricky. The slightest knock in the wrong place could trigger it. I should know. I built it.
Dr. Lynn Denlon: I have the instruments to cut someone open. I don't have the tools to save a life.
Amanda: [glances down at the reverse beartrap on the ground] You'd be surprised what tools can save a life.
Amanda: [glances down at the reverse beartrap on the ground] You'd be surprised what tools can save a life.
Amanda: [to Lynn] Let me give you the simple version. You will keep him alive, whatever it takes. No excuses, no equivocations.
[whispers]
Amanda: No crying.
Amanda: So?
Dr. Lynn Denlon: My twenty second analysis without any medical equipment is that his brain is herniating.
Amanda: [sarcastically] Oh.
Dr. Lynn Denlon: He needs to go to the hospital and have an operation to decompress his brain.
Amanda: [whispers] Come here. No, really, come here. Come here.
Dr. Lynn Denlon: No.
Amanda: [whispers] Let me ask you something.
[grabs Lynn by the hair]
Amanda: Did I bring John to you? Or did I bring your self-centered ass to him?
[whispers]
Amanda: Now you better start fucking paying attention. No one's going to any hospital.
[forcibly lets Lynn go]
Dr. Lynn Denlon: I can't perform miracles. You're giving him painkillers - for a tumor like this he needs steroids, prednisones.
Amanda: [sarcastically] Oh, good, yeah.
[yells]
Amanda: Maybe we could try some corticosteroids, you know, like dexamethasone. Why don't you fucking tell me something that I don't know! Stupid cunt!
Jigsaw: Death is a surprise party.
Dr. Lynn Denlon: I don't know what you think you know, but my marriage has survived more suffering than someone like you could ever grasp.
Jigsaw: Suffering? You haven't seen anything yet.
Dr. Lynn Denlon: [during the surgery] How do you feel, John?
Jigsaw: Never better.
Judge Halden: Don't become what he is! Don't become a murderer!
Jeff: [while the Judge is screaming for his life] Shut the fuck up...
Amanda: Eric Matthews? I'll tell you about Eric Matthews. Eric Matthews learned *nothing* from your test.
Dr. Lynn Denlon: You're asking me to do the impossible.
Amanda: I'm not asking you.
[referring to Jigsaw]
Amanda: He is.
Amanda: Yeah, that's right. I'm a murderer.
Amanda: [to Dr. Lynn Denlon] I'm sorry - it must be distracting when there are so many things here you could kill me with.
Jeff: I forgive him!
Jigsaw: I'm sorry but is all this crude medical equipment around you causing you to believe that you're still inside a hospital?
Dr. Lynn Denlon: No...
Jigsaw: Then why are you speaking to me on the graduate school medical jargon? LOOK AT ME!
Jigsaw: Hello, Jeff. I made this tape as an insurance policy, if you will. And, if your listening to it, then in it's time to collect. I was your final test, Jeff. Your final test of forgiveness. And if you are listening to this, then you've failed. Now you must pay the price. The price of holding on to all that anger, the price of driving your own wife away from you, the price of living for nothing but vengeance. Now I will give you something to live for. I told you, that you couldn't kill me, Jeff. But I didn't tell you why. The answer is simple. I am the person responsible for the loss of your child. I am the only person who knows, where your daughter is. She only has a limited supply of air, and if you want to get her back, you'll have to play a game.
Amanda: So, do you have everything you need?
Dr. Lynn Denlon: I have the instruments to cut someone open. I don't have the tools to save a life.
Amanda: [Amanda looks down at the Jawsplitter] You'd be surprised what tools can save a life.
[Amanda picks up the Jawsplitter]
Jigsaw: I have tried to help you, Amanda.
Amanda: Then help me! Fix me! Fix me motherfucker! I'm standing right here!
Jigsaw: Matrimony has always fascinated me. Husbands barely able to look at their wives, wives on their backs in hotel rooms with perfect strangers; able to bear children to bear children only to neglect them; until death do us part indeed.
Dr. Lynn Denlon: I don't know what you think you know, but my marriage has survived more suffering than someone like you could ever grasp.
Jigsaw: Suffering? You haven't seen anything yet. Someone like me, who am I?
Dr. Lynn Denlon: A monster. A murderer.
Jigsaw: I don't condone murder and I despise murderers.
Jigsaw: You will give everything to me. Every cell in your body. Is that understood?
Amanda: Yes.
Jigsaw: The marks on your arms, they're from another life. We'll leave that life behind. When you walk down that corridor there is no turning back. Do you understand that?
Amanda: [reluctantly] Yes.
Jigsaw: Then start with this.
[hands Amanda an envelope]
Amanda: He's completed the third test.
Jigsaw: Congratulations Lynn, you're free to go.
Amanda: Yeah, but he's not all the way out yet.
[shakes her head]
Jigsaw: Undo her collar, Amanda, and let her go.
Amanda: No, he's not finished. He's not all the way.
Jigsaw: Amanda, Lynn is more important than you know. Unlock her collar and let her go.
Amanda: [whispering] I said no.
[caulks a handgun]
Jigsaw: Amanda, there are rules.
Amanda: [yelling] I said no!
Jigsaw: If you make it through this, Lynn, you're going to thank me one day just as Amanda did.
Dr. Lynn Denlon: Please, let me go. I saved your life!
Jigsaw: Maybe my life isn't the one you are saving, after all.
