good, but no SAW

Rating: 6/10 (14 February 2006)

SAW II is stylish and is a good movie, I just have to say that the first SAW was executed much better. Jigsaw returns to play more games,this time to collect a whole bunch of people, put them in a house and have them try to get out before dieing. There is nerve gas running through the house and if they don't get out soon they will all be dead. Not all of them die from the gas as one dies from a bullet through the head (nice) and another from from a baseball bat with nails in it to the back of the head (okay). How are these people connected? Let's see, they were once, at one point, in jail. All except for the young boy whose father is a cop. The same cop who put these people in jail. Are you following me? Shawnee Smith (she's great) returns as Amanda, the girl from the first who had the reverse bear trap on her head. Why is she in this movie you may ask? Well, I won't tell you that. Oh, by the way, I knew how this movie was going to end before I watched it. Thank you to that person in movie chat who ruined it for me. Still, even if I didn't know, I'm still only giving this movie a 6. A word of advice: If you do watch this movie, try not to think about the first one. SAW II is good but SAW is better.
