A promising sequel for a movie that was doomed from the start.

Saw II **
Saw II is the sequel to the successful Saw back in 2004. I didn't expect much out of this film but I was surprised that the film relied more on mood and settings than gore. However, the movie is a circle that keeps going and going. This movie gets in too deep in this circle that we end of at the first Saw movie. But you don't necessarily have to watch the first part to get the second part, unless your really confused. Another thing that I liked about this film was that we actually get several conversation pieces with John, the Jigsaw Killer. However the odds of the film out weighs the evens a lot more in Saw II. The ending is the exact same ending of the first Saw movie and coincidentally it takes place in the same room. Another odd is that we really could care less if these people live or die because they all are nasty to each other where it gets to the point where you want them to get trapped.
