Movie Reviews of Saw IV (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Thrilling, but this should be the finale
Summary: 3 Stars
Now that Jigsaw and Amanda Young are deceased, the cops are looking for another accomplice. Jigsaw has one last game for them, however, as he swallowed a tape just before death. It's up to the cops to uncover Jigsaw's last plot, and just like always, they must do it before more "innocent" lives are taken.
Detective Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg), the SWAT team leader from Saw II, is trapped in yet another intricate killing device, and Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) is there along with him. Just as the other movies, there has to be a star in Jigsaw's games, and this time it's SWAT Commander Rigg (Lyriq Bent) who will have his ethics, morals, and fortitude tested. Riggs is given ninety minutes to get through the demented traps in order to teach evil people various macabre lessons, and to save his colleague.
Possibly on the brink of approaching Friday the 13th and Police Academy levels, this sequel to Saw is one level away from a level that should never be repeated. There is a very interesting sequence of events that uncovers how Jigsaw became the engineering genius turned serial killer. Now that the truth is known, and the attempt at viewer understanding and maybe even sympathy is made, there is a moral resolution, a vindication, and this absolutely, unequivocally has to be the finale to the series.
Originality waning, Saw IV is a little lackluster compared to that of the first in the Saw series; and that's the problem, because it's the clever originality that made the initial Saw such a success.
Summary of Saw IV (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Even death itself can't bring the savage games of Jigsaw to an end, as Saw IV proves; if anything, the fiendishly clever serial killer (once again played by Tobin Bell) is equally capable of dealing out violent death while lying on a morgue slab as he was in life. Saw IV also offers a class reunion of characters from the previous three films, each once again up to their necks in Jigsaw's schemes. Chief among them is Sgt. Rigg (Lyriq Bent) from Saw II, who must place himself in Jigsaw's shoes in order to rescue Detective Matthews (Donnie Walhberg), who was abducted by the killer at the end of Saw II, and Forensic Hoffman (Costas Mandylor from Saw III), from another elaborate murder device. Meanwhile, FBI agents led by Scott Patterson (Gilmore Girls, Aliens in America) attempt to track Rigg as he carries out Jigsaw's horrific notion of justice from beyond the grave. Casual horror fans may find the endless puzzles and relentless nihilism of the Saw series wearing thin with this fourth entry, but the franchise's key selling points--the Sadean excesses of Jigsaw's macabre creations--remain as bloody and unsettling as ever. --Paul GaitaWhen SWAT Commander Rigg is abducted and thrust into a game the last officer untouched by Jigsaw has but ninety minutes to overcome a series of demented traps and save an old friend or face the deadly consequences.System Requirements:Running Time: 95 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR/TORTURE Rating: UNRATED UPC: 031398221975 Manufacturer No: 22197
