SAW 4 Film Review - 20/11/07

If you are not a SAW Fan or you have not seen the first three movies - then I would not bother with this one at all as it will make absolutely no sense to you whatsoever? A bit like reading a series of books and starting at book number seven; where you would be wondering - Who was who? Why did they do that? Why is that happening? Starting off with an autopsy on the killer Jigsaw we rapidly get drawn into events past & present as sleight of hand from previous films suddenly takes on greater significance in the scheme of things as various torture devices slice and dice various victims. Flashbacks further flesh out Jigsaw's behaviour and characters flash before our eyes in seconds taking on even greater meaning.

I left the cinema desperately pondering how this all literally falls into place and how the puzzle pieces fit into Jigsaw's game plan. I read further online and then everything fell into place as though a curtain had been drawn back in front of my eyes and the truth was shining through. I won't spoil it for anyone but it is a worthy contender in the SAW pantheon and STILL leaves several stones unturned for the future!

Jigsaw the killer and his apprentice are dead but something is afoot and pointers lead to several subjects as the horrifying games (Tests) begin once again and many people get caught in the web as it expands out catching many unaware.
