Terrible, but marginally better than the first

Rating: 1/10 (2 August 2006)

The Saw franchise suffers from everything. From poor screenplays to bad acting to worse directing. This movie takes some of the creepy ideals cherished by Kevin spacey in Se7en (a fantastic flick) and executes them in a generally brainless, uninspired, gore-fest. Just about the same as the first. The only difference, however, is Saw 2 does not suffer the same cast. Let us not forget that Carey Elwes is a fantastic COMEDY actor, he never should have been cast in a movie like saw. So, better cast, slightly more intriguing story make for a marginally less craptacular film. If you must see this, convince a friend without movie standards to either rent or buy, never waste your own money on this sad excuse for a film (still better than a Uwe Boll flick).
