Saw 5

Saw 5

Who's in it: Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Scott Patterson

What's it about: Jigsaw(Bell) has left someone to continue the work that he started. Officer Mark Hoffman(Mandylor) is living the legacy of Jigsaw to its fullest when he starts a new maze for 5 unfortunate souls. During this he is also luring Agent Strahm(Patterson) into his greatest creation ever. Hoffman has learned everything from Jigsaw and he wants to share the knowledge with as many people as he can. He wants an appreciation for life and the thankfulness for redemption to spread among people. The final scene brings the worst possible thought of deception and trickery known to man.

What I Think: This is by far the best of the Saw series. I was amazed at the diverse types of torturous devices. I really think that they reall outdid themselves this time. The way that Strahm was unraveling the true mystery of Jigsaw and the apprenticeship of Hoffman was outstanding. It was truely breathtaking from the beginning scene to the finale. I was cringing at parts but applauding the plot the whole way through. I mostly hope that this is not the end. I continue to be awed by Saw and really anticipate a sixth movie. Each just keeps getting better. I can't wait for most twists for my mind to conceive and attempt to solve. Just when you thought this movie couldn't get any better, the final scene will absolutely blow your mind.

Saw I

Saw I

Who's in it: Leigh Whannell, Cary Elwes, Danny Glover, Tobin Bell

What's it about: Adam(Whannell) and Doctor Lawrence Gordon(Elwes) are stuck in a sickening bathroom. They are chained to a pipe by one foot. After finding tapes in their pockets and a tape player in the hand of another unknown dead man in the room, they begin to panic about their situation. Dr. Gordon remembers the talk of a twisted killer, Jigsaw(Bell). Now in a desperate attempt to save his family, Dr. Gordon must choose between killing Adam or severing his own foot. Detective Tapp(Glover) is on the case as a discharged officer. He just can't let go the mystery and bewilderment of Jigsaw.

What I Think: HUGE fan of the Saw series. Hasn't disappointed me yet. I must admit that I had started with the 2nd one before the 1st one and I just got to see the 1st one and I believe that I missed out on something amazing. The make-up artists were amazing with the detail. All of the mental twists really make you think. I'm happy to say that I do actually appreciate life more than most people. Love Bell to death.
