NO! Don't hire "american idols" to be actors. It doesn't work.

Rating: 2/10 (3 March 2006)

Just a quick comment on this one, even though it's not really worth it: This movie has very *amateurish* acting and poor direction + weak script and dialog. And what is the point with all that obscene language? We are starting to get very very fed up of finding it in almost every movie released nowadays. I mean, I'm not really offended or anything, but it throws no punch if it's just sprayed out in every sentence (plus it just sounds silly).
First Saw movie had something special, this movie is just sad. Think it could have been made something decent out of this, but the whole crew of actors (ok, maybe except the guy playing jigsaw) + director would have to be replaced and the script would need some "tightening up" to make it more sane. Also never got the feeling that people in this movie were really trapped (like in the first one) - you could see through the barricades on the windows for gods sake!? I really hated all the actors in this movie, except the jigsaw guy cos he had a bit of intensity and presence, and I wanted them ALL to die.
Another thing that I'm starting to (sadly) realize is that:
RATINGS ON IMDb CAN'T BE TRUSTED!
I'm 100% sure that movie studios/companies (or some "whatever person" related to this movie (and others too) ) are hiring people to write untrue reviews and give false ratings. Well, who can blame them really after spending millions of dollars on a movie..but still..I don't know, it's just sad {again} I suppose.
I give this a 2. I'm tempted into giving it a "1" (to correct the "damage" of this having a rating of "7" ), but..that wouldn't be fair either, I suppose.
