It's like fast food.

Rating: 7/10 (3 January 2007)

"Saw II" delivers more than expected. It's not just a sequel to capitalize the surprising success of the original "Saw".
The plot is clever and truly plays with the viewer's mind. The movie is not straight Horror because it involves action and light drama. There are spectacular action sequences and good, decent gore.
But don't be carried away because "Saw II" won't stay in your mind for it's content, scenes, or even ending.
I'm impressed for it's huge fan database but I can understand why it's a very popular movie. It has a good amount of action and horror and that's what makes it so entertaining. Plus, the characters are likable and each of them has a "cool" attitude that may have many teens identified to. Shawnee Smith, Donnie Wahlberg, and Emmanuelle Vaugier deliver the best performances in my opinion.
The death scenes are creative and may be the highlight scenes for the movie.
Give a chance for this movie if you are into the new wave of Horror or if you enjoy twist endings. "Saw II" is a product that should be used only once and get the most possible benefit from it.
