Enter Detective Matthews

Rating: 5/10 (30 March 2008)

Jigsaw is back to his old cat and mouse gruesome antics, despite being captured by the police during an investigation into his murderous ways by jaded, divorced, and nearly burnt-out Detective Eric Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg). Rather then see this as a setback, Jigsaw calmly informs him that Eric's son is now trapped in a booby-trapped house with 7 other people whom all share a secret past. I didn't particularly care for the first Saw , so imagine my surprise when i found this one marginally better, much better acted, and more gripping. It also has a better ending in my opinion (although i still hate cliff-hangers as a rule). I've only seen the first 3 films in the franchise thus far, this is my favorite as I think the third one is complete and utter excrement. Don't get me wrong Saw 2 still isn't a really good film, merely a better one then the others in the series (from what I saw)
My Grade: C-
