JigSaw
Another Saw film.
Another twist - Though I don't know if they could hand-hold you any more through this, they more or less explained it numerous times throughout the movie...matter of fact one thing said clearly outlined what was going on - so the whole "wow, John Cramer is alive" bit just..did not work.

This one felt a bit like one of those later "hellraiser" direct to video psuedo-sequels..they departed from the main theme of the previous movies and essentially made a detective thriller? WAY too much was based around the investigation and not the "game" and victims thereof.

I suppose at least the villain (or...hero?) seemed to be one of the "good" Jigsaws, followed Johns vision correctly and seemed to have good cause. I liked their tricks. They were intelligent.

The traps were pretty boring unfortunately...

Biggest problem - We didn't get anything from where SAW7 ended up, eg: Doctor Gordon and "crew"...if you were looking forward to seeing that like I was, forget it. Not even a damn mention or link.

I'd give this maybe a 5/10.
Elements I liked, strung through a bunch of shit I didn't.
