Hooray - Jigsaw is dead! But that in itself probably isn't enough to make a whole film. So, during the autopsy, guess what they find...a tape of course! I didn't really enjoy this one as I really felt like all the good ideas had already gone and this was just spinning it out for the sake of another film. Having said that, there is still a good sprinkling of very chilling moments so if you are bored on a Sunday afternoon, it's raining outside and you can't think of anything else to do, watch this film.SECOND OPINION: If Saw III started folding in on itself, Saw IV starts unravelling. There's a main thread of a detective who is being 'taught' by Jigsaw to think differently, but since he needs to save someone in each of his tests (and there are quite a few tests so the happen pretty quickly) we feel nothing for the victims. And since the detective is no angel, we end up feeling very little for him either. Also, Jigsaw's backstory starts being explained, but the more we know about him, the less scary he becomes. This is a shame, as Saw III felt like it was going somewhere. This should probably stay on the shelf, unless you'd like to know how it all ends.
