| Elevator Pitch | A female surgeon is kidnapped and given the task of keeping “Jigsaw” alive while a man, her husband, is required to go through a series of tests concerning the people who were involved in the death of his young son. The surgeon is fitted with a collar which will decapitate her if her patient dies, and the man being tested makes his way towards her location, failing to prevent the deaths of others in macabre ways. | ||
| Content | Numerous unpleasant events take place in what appears to be a series of underground warehouses; a woman is killed with an iced water spray, a man is submerged in pulverised pig flesh, there are flashbacks to previous Saw films, possibly revealing how things were set up. Brain surgery takes place. | ||
| A View | It is said that three people fainted at the first showing of this film. The numbers say it all, but I really wonder at what we, the members of the human race, find enjoyable. Apart from the basic unpleasantness I found the flashbacks disconcerting, the semi-darkness wearing and the finale, where the dialogue appeared to have been revoiced without the makers ensuring that the mouth movements co-incided, unprofessional (maybe it was the versions I saw). So I make it an “almost don’t see”, but probably it won’t put you off. | ||
