A decent sequel...

Rating: 7/10 (12 November 2007)

The first SAW amazed me with the writers' clever ideas but SAW II felt a lot different from the first one. I mean, it's a good sequel, but it feels like there's something missing in this one...
SAW II starts off by John "Jigsaw" Kramer (Bell) testing Detective Matthews (Wahlberg) by having a conversation face to face when his son is in one of Jigsaw's games along with other victims. And somehow, all these players, including Matthews, have something in common that they will discover near the end of their journey. Its just a matter of time who will survive longest to find the missing puzzle piece of this sick game.
I think what bothered me the most in this movie could be because too many people are involved in the new game which lead me into confusion and never gave a lot of background from each character. But as I said before, It's a pretty good movie. The ending has a twist as usual and a pretty cool one it is. Let's just say I never "saw" it coming haha. Anyways, SAW II is just a tiny bit weak BUT not a disappointment. Just enjoy the ride!
