There was blood

Rating: 9/10 (28 October 2005)

This movie picks up where the first one left off, with John still putting people in situations that they must get out of and if they do they will then have a greater appreciation for live. However unlike the first one the major trap involves many (starts with 8) people in a house. They are being poisoned by the air they breathe, but there are enough antidotes for them all should they be able to pass the test. Again they get a tape recorder and are given instructions asking them first "I want to play a game." The other part of the story revolves around some cops one of whom have been tracking all his puzzles (the ones from the first movie). Not giving anything away, they do find John, but before they know it all the cops and the S.W.A.T. team there are all playing his game as well. This movie is full of surprises and keeps you guessing until the end. There are subtle clues through out, but most are impossible to pick up on the first time you see it. If you haven't seen the first movie you are going in at a major disadvantage, because there is very little in terms of fill in or catch, so I'd highly recommend seeing it first. Of Course if you did enjoyed the first one the second does disappoint!
