Review of Jigsaw (2017) by Harry W — 16 Apr 2018
It's not great to be honest and falls smoothly beside Saw: The Final Chapter (or Saw 3D, whatever) in terms of quality. Where hardcore gore hound Saw fans are concerned, it's an instant classic as it again manages to bring the entire bloody saga to a perfect circle without stepping on the toes of the previous entries.
It's not a terrible film but it could of really easily been. If it didn't have Tobin Bell in it, if it didn't have a massive devoted fan base and if it didn't actually call itself "part of the Saw saga" it would be a huge mess.
Thankfully, if you're going to sit down to watch the eighth entry in the Saw series, you already know what to expect and probably won't be that disappointed. It's no where near on the same level as the brilliant first three entries in the series, the rest of which after can be skipped in my opinion.
The acting isn't bad and the direction is competent, but we've seen this all before, haven't we?
