Amanda.


I was excited to see Shawnee Smith reprising her role as Amanda, but I felt she acted a bit strangely. It just didn't convey the same energy as before. Is it just me?

Tobin Bell acted amazingly, though.

Dont nitpick on stuff that badly in a Saw movie especially if its an in betweener movie like Saw X.

Amander is still a messed up addict that cuts herself. She was still trying to figure out how to be an apprentice since Saw X does take place between Saw 1 and Saw 2.

sure she care too much for Gabriela because Gabriela was just like Amanda with being hooked on drugs and a young gal but that was it.

Gabriela should have known better to try to scam John Kramer

Not only did she look 80 years old, but she acted like she didn't want to reprise the role. Her acting was terrible.

oh whatever. She looked fine to me.

After another viewing, still no complaints here. *gasps* It was great to see her again after all these years and in a substantial role, no less. Now I can perhaps see where you’re coming from (looks & the fact she hasn’t played the character in nearly 15 years aside, something did feel a bit different but I think that was more the character — this is pre-Saw II after all), however for the most part I thought she portrayed Amanda, well, like Amanda. I saw nothing wrong with her acting.

This was definitely Tobin Bell’s show at the end of the day (outstanding), though great performances all around.

Ya I loved this movie a lot, but I too noticed that Amanda was way different than I recalled from the previous ones, not just obviously in looks due to how many years it's been but just the way she acted. Also wtf they make her hair so dumb looking lol?
