GBW #104: John Doe's Got the Upper Hand (Saw / Law Abiding Citizen/ Resurrection [1999])

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more! This week, Ryan and Chris discuss three grisly, horror-tinged procedurals that all mine their influence (some more shameless than others) from the success of David Fincher's 1995 iconic "Se7en." We start with "Saw" from 2004, since the franchise is back in the conversation with the release of the (surprisingly well-received) tenth entry last month, and talk about how the film managed to be a trendsetter in its own right, for better or worse. Then, we move into 2009's bonkers "Law Abiding Citizen," which certainly apes "Se7en" (as well as "Death Wish," "The Dark Knight," and many others), but does its own thing in regards to the social commentary regarding the justice system (even if you don't buy a cent of it). Finally, we move into the most egregious - and hilariously entertaining - "Se7en" clone with 1999's shot-in-Canada "Resurrection," which sees Christopher Lambert in the Sommerset role, and it goes about as well as you can imagine.
