You're right: it was just a movie. And I don't mind those movie-movie moments in a certain kind of film, where it's nodding and winking at the audience.
But SAW pretends to be, for most of its length, an intense horror experience. So going for the dumb-bell ending really bugged me.
And yes, the characters would notice that the "corpse" was breathing. They were locked in a situation where they would be closely examining every inch of their environment, looking for some means of escape. Didn't the two guys think the "body" had the keys to their chains?
