I wonder if any of you saw this movie. Jigsaw appears to challenge and torture the main characters. They’ll have to solve an intricate puzzle in order to win this game. Then… The worst kind of betrayal. Bones are broken.

Red, red, and more red is separated, and then coagulated. There were two throughout, but at the end, only one remains.

Hint #1 - this is the furthest thing from a horror movie.

Hint 2:
Jigsaw is the biggest clue in the whole description

Hint 3: This movie is perfect for fans of movies such as: Butter, Searching for Bobby Fischer, The King of Kong

Widow goes abroad to get drunk & forget. One friend tries to save her, another does the opposite and the widow descends to whoring and gets murdered.

Hints if needed.

There are two versions of this film. Made 38 years apart.

Based on a good selling book at the time.

The widow isn't the MC, one of the friends is.

The original book's author is actually a character in the film. Not played by the author though. (In the first film anyway). The author is not the MC.

The first film was made in the 1940s.

The MC is invested with Uncle Sam.

There is something amiss; I am being insincere. In fact I don’t mean any of this, still my discussion draws you near.

To confuse the issue I refer to familiar brands...

A scholarly pressure ends up being misheard, an unfortunate lack of pressure leaves another breathless, a ticking pressure to discover leads to disappointment, and the pressure to save proves quite explosive.

Hint #1: horror
