Saw 4.
I don't care how you put it, formulate it, whatever. I understood that the beginning was really the end, but I was still like WTF at the end of the movie. Why oh why are they setting us up for Saw 5? They could have easily told us what was in the envelope that was written for Amanda and the detective's motives as well. But it was cool to see John go crazy... I mean that's a tragedy in itself, but dang he took it a little too far with the craziness...
Now Lyriq (Riggs) was oh so fine in the movie. The fact that he was under pressure had his shirt all off for no reason was just like wow. Like the Orlando Bloom & Anakin Skywalker factor.
Thank you for the eye candy in the midst of the gore, guts, blood, and over-the-top mutilation of the human body. Now I appreciated his fervor for saving lives, however, I do not think that after all those trials I would have walked through that door. Halfway through the movie it was like "ok, so if he tries to save the detective, someone's going to die." That was the WHOLE point of his test anyway - stop trying to save lives that aren't for you to save. It's ok to save a life if it is not an obsession, which it had become for him. I mean, I knew something was wrong when this chick tried to kill him after he had saved her life. How in the world was all that stuff set up for him in his house while he was sleep? He must have been extra quiet while securing homegirl to an engineered death trap. What was really gruesome was the deaf-mute trap (if you can't see it youtube it):
And the lady that ended up killing her abusive husband. Yeah, that was neat- you go girl. I won't even address the guy getting ripped limb from limb as I had mixed feelings about him and his voyeurism. But the only part in the movie that made me cringe was the autopsy. Thank you Wes Craven for desensitizing me to the harsh realities of horror movies.
And plus, HOW IN THE WORLD WILL THEY EXPLAIN THAT THEY FOUND JIGSAW'S BODY WITH THE OTHER FBI AGENT IN THERE ALIVE LOCKED IN THE ROOM WITH THE DEAD BODIES KNOWING THAT TWO DETECTIVES WERE MISSING AND ONE RETURNS TO PLAY THE TAPE AT THE AUTOPSY AND NOT PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER? I mean they are going to have to create a cork for that plot hole. How did he even end up in that room anyway? If he had been following the same path as Riggs, obviously he was because he didn't see any of Jeff's test stuff, how did he end up in the room where Jigsaw was unless he either had a prior knowledge of that room or purposefully made a wrong turn? Jigsaw lays out the path your are supposed to go plainly so there shouldn't have been any detours.
AND how are they going to deal with the fact that there is a "serial kidnapper/lunatic" on the loose and these people are running around without partners/backup/bombs? Somebody missed that part of training. Why oh why did Perez decide to take a closer look at the doll? He said your next move would be crucial or something like that. Personally, if I knew that a serial killer was using a toy doll to deliver the death message, I would have called for backup from the cops (might as well, they are on payroll) and said "inspect this" before I got my face blown. I'm FBI b!tch. Plus, did anyone think that if Amanda was MIA 100 lbs soaking wet and Jigsaw was two breaths from death since movie 2, that someone else had to have been planting these things? FINGERPRINT AND FORENSICS people.
And the whole ice block crushing the head thing, reminded me of that guy who crushed the watermelons. Yeah, I just shook my head in the theatre. Why? Because this guy has survived through 2 movies only to die. Dang. And the twist wasn't really a twist, not really.
But, in my delight in intertwined storylines, I will more than likely check movie 5 to dig deeper into the Saw mysteries. But with more skepticism rather than awe. But they could easily write an essay about what will happen and I'd read it and save myself the long drive from this country place to a theatre.
'Tis All.
