Though a little vision-clashing still pretty good!

Rating: 7/10 (1 December 2007)

After one year Saw returns with a sequel Saw II. Although I enjoyed this film, I have to say I think new director Darren Lynn Bousman and original director James Wan had a clash of vision for the series. Several things in this film Bousman develops even more disturbing games for his victims, which are now mostly ex-convicts and makes them all move throughout his game trying to free themselves of a deadly neuro-toxin which is now in their blood. My biggest problem is that Jigsaw seems to challenge the individual, not a group. More importantly, every task in this film seems to be accomplished if they just work together, which obviously because they're ex-convicts, they don't. Nevertheless, there's still a lot of scare potential in this film and come the end there's another mind-blowing twist that knocks you completely off guard. If you enjoyed the first film, you need to see Saw II.
