Jigsaw

Related image   After a criminal triggers a remote control on the roof of a building, a new game in the same style as Jigsaw's old ones, is started. DNA matching his is found on the bodies, however the Jigsaw killer, John Kramer, has been dead for ten years. Bodies starts dropping around town once more, and investigators Hunt and Halloran are on the case. While investigating, they work with Eleanor and Logan in the morgue. Neither of them trust Halloran, and Eleanor decides to take her boss to her "studio" where she reveals herself to be a fan of the Jigsaw case. As the body count becomes higher, the pressure for Hunt and Halloran to find the killer increases.
   As every other movie in the Saw franchise, this was filled with bloody gore and plottwists. However, the twists are very easy to detect, and you can easily figure out what's going to happen, and even who the killer is. You seriously figure it out in the middle of the movie, and then the whole point of the movie is kind of lost. The machinery in the movie is also a lot less interesting and more simple than in the other movies. (Also, can we discuss the fact that all of the victims have secrets that don't match the original pattern? They used to be a mixture of criminals, addicts and other people, and in this movie they're all part of the same group, with the same kind of secrets. How boring.)
   The movie is also apparently very confusing if you haven't seen the other movies recently, because one chick sitting right behind us in the cinema bursted out "I understand nothing" right at the movie ended, and other people have been expressing the same kind of feelings, and I have to agree; it takes a bit of thinking to understand the movie and if you don't know the patterns from before, you'll probably be confused. So, make sure you watch the other movies first.
   If you're a hardcore fan of the Saw series, then I really recommend you watch this movie. It's not particularly scary, but the gore was intense and as bloody as ever.
