I don't think we need to watch saw to understand the brutalities that are occuring in the world. Just watching the news will suffice.
On this topic, there really are some movies that I believe have just no value whatsoever. I didn't see the first one, but "Hostel 2" for one was just grisly, brutal, and horribly apathetic about human life. There was no point at all. It was just gratuitous torture scenes only a horribly dysfunctional person would enjoy. And I'm pretty liberal.
