More head games and gruesome torture - great stuff! Jigsaw is in the late stages of terminal cancer so ropes a doctor in to keep him alive. Guess what, it's another game! The doc has a beautiful necklace of explosives around her neck which is wired to his heart monitor. If his heart stops, she goes bang bang. This is just one of many games going on and to be honest, I think I just got a bit bored of the whole Saw premise by the end of this film. They started out being so far out and challenging but when the idea is re-hashed this many times, it does lose some of the appeal. If you haven't seen any of the Saw films, I would stop after this one.SECOND OPINION: This is where the Saw films start folding in on themselves. Characters' true motivations are revealed and Jigsaw is creating a very tangled web indeed. The games are bloodier still, but the storyline means they're not as clever as before. However, it's clever how we get an answer to the question "Why have the games become inescapable", as this lends validity to Saw II and made me hopeful for the next installment. With Saw III I feel the franchise has hit it's pace. It leaves you with a cliffhanger and, guilty pleasure as it is, I can't wait for the next installment.
