Saw IV is the best Saw by far! The story was a lot more interesting and more exiting! This movie also features my favorite Saw trap, which is the Scalping Seat. And similar to the surgery scene in Saw III, this film starts off with Jigsaw's autopsy scene, the effects and details were amazing, it looked so accurate to a real autopsy! The ending was probably the best ending out of all the Saw films, it even gives Saw III a bigger conclusion! This film is very underrated, sad to say, and I think it deserves way more attention than it has.
... View MoreSaw IV is all about torturing and killing people in the most sadistic way possible. That's all it is. Just loads of gore. Jigsaw may be dead, but his legacy continues. Jigsaw continues to appear in a lot of flashbacks which completely slow the film down, yet they are the best part of it thanks to Tobin Bell's magnetic screen presence. Meanwhile, yet another unfortunate person is being put through a brutal test so that he can overcome his flaws and appreciate life. What is his crime? Being a bit impatient and being obsessed with saving his friend. That's it?! That is no justification to put someone through the wringer like this at all. That sums up the slippery logic of S4. Nothing really makes sense, it's just disturbing instead of scary and this is entirely lacking in the twists and interesting themes which made the original a hit. There is still a twist ending, but by the time you've finally reached the end of a deeply tedious series of bland traps which drowns both its unfortunate (And likable) protagonist and it's possibly even more unfortunate audience in endless mountains of fake blood, it's difficult to truly care. This starts off with a pointless, gruesome and not even very well-made scene showing Jigsaw's autopsy. That opening sums up the entire movie. If this is Jigsaw's legacy, than I feel very sorry for him.4/10
... View MoreFinding one of the newest crime scenes, an FBI profiler tries to track down the truth about the murders while attempting to make sure a fellow officer caught in another game doesn't become another victim of Jigsaw's legacy.While this one certainly had its moments, this one ended up being quite a troubling effort as well. What really stands out here is that the gore, as usual, saves this one with a multitude of brutal, bloody scenes here that are rather entertaining and fun. Starting with the opening autopsy of graphically removing many of the interior organs from his corpse and cutting the body open to reveal the contents of the new game, the first game to be played here where the two disfigured and chained figures are playing a demented version of tug-of-war that gets very messy as it goes along and the later scenes of the traps from the previous games all give this one some rather gory times though it's the main game featured here that gives this the most gruesome moments. The apartment encounter and the motel sequence are fine, while the biggest one here is the game at the school where the previous victims are found and really give this some solid and twisted moments here. While the final game results in some fine moments, just about everything else about this one serves it up even lower. The biggest flaw here is the continuous going's back to the past three films to try to make sure that whatever piles onto it makes sense. This was attempted previously in the last installment which really made no sense there and continues on here by instead making it clear those should be watched instead while offering the same problem as the previous one did in halting the traps to clear-up something from another film entirely. This also ties into another crippling factor here that there's so many subplots here that's just not that interesting at all, ranging from the relationship between the two and how he turned into a killer which is just annoying and not at all scary, the traps aren't confined like they used to be as leaving his handiwork out in the open in order for others to see and follow him is almost as if they just decided to throw them in there in order to stay connected to the series since they've all had them so this one should've as well which makes no sense if he's such a masterful serial killer while dealing with the current lesson, and there's so much to keep track of it's just not that worthwhile. The last problem here is that the lessons are stupid based on his own dubious morality that frankly doesn't seem all that likely to make an impact on someone at all based on how they're utilized here which is carried over from the others. These all help bring this one down from what it could've been.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
